Fresh from signing to us lot here Hassle Records, Tubelord, have announced the release of their
highly anticipated debut album, ‘Our First American Friends’ on October
12th.
To get the ball rolling, the band will release the first
single and long-time live/online favourite, ‘Propeller’, on September
28th and they've reached out to some of their favourite up and
coming artists from around the world to design unique and individual vinyl sleeves for all
500 of the limited edition 7" singles.
Each seven-inch single boasts a design by an artist from a collective
hand-picked by Tubelord frontman Jo Prendergast, with the artwork
inspired by the song’s lyrics and art concept. The pieces of art, as well as
some artists, will take part in an exhibition being held to showcase the single
as well as the collective effort by people from across the UK and Europe. The
London exhibition will take place at The Lock Tavern in Camden (Sept 29th)
and the Leeds one will appear at Nation Of Shopkeepers (Sept 27th).
Each design and the creation process behind the art,
is now available to view on http://rainboliatric.blogspot.com
where they will be displayed as they come in.
