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.
