Dear friends,
Our second album, THIS BODY OF MINE WILL DISINTEGRATE, is now released for the benefit of all living being. We hope it brings you joy, comfort and vigour in these challenging times.
It's available from Bandcamp as a download, or limited edition CDR - The first 10 copies come signed, and packaged in glossy card wallets, inside a hand-screen-printed cotton bag. After those first ten are gone, a standard CD version will be available.
The album can also be heard on all streaming services from today - Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and elsewhere. Go forth here https://theshiningtongues.com/this-body-of-mine-will-disintegrate/ and absorb our doings via the feeding-tube of your choice. If streaming music is your thing, please take the time to add the album to your library, and to any playlists you may have, as well as sharing the above link far and wide. It all helps us. Thank you!
It's taken us a while to finish crafting this album of new songs, and we hope that listening to it brings at least some of the joy we experienced in creating it. In celebration, we'll be playing a rare live show next week at Mascara Bar, London on Friday 7th June. Get your tickets here: https://www.realsounds.uk/event-details/72 It would be splendid to see you there!
Lastly, I am very much aware of the seeming futility of celebrating an album release into a world filled with so much suffering. Of course, no art is truly futile, so I humbly invite you to donate whatever you can to the work of the Delia Art Foundation. Among other heroic things they are using music and art to help children cope with trauma in Gaza, establishing a new arts center in Rafah. https://donorbox.org/support-delia. We pray for a free Palestine, and for peace for all living beings.
Love,
Dan / The Shining Tongues
