    Warm on the heels of the critically-acknowledged Nochexxx-curated Greatest Hits 10” Can't Get Started comes a full-length 12” vinyl oddity from Cambridge's Pete Um. This time it's a reissue of some old news from 2003, The New Album CD-R redux, in an almost pointlessly limited edition of 100. This is the birth of modern Um, with the sufferheaded voice in stark digital settings and gaffered samples, now expertly remastered for vinyl.

    Contains sleevenotes/lyric insert, custom-made tricky stickered frontage, hand-bodged hole-flap and heavily sexy PVC sleevery. Whole thing cost a bloody fortune :)

    Includes unlimited streaming of The New Album via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Disappointment man
Can I call you Mac the man?
That homie McDuff
Wants to get fucked
See the fucking wood
Like the witches said it would
That Mrs Macbeth
got the fuck and kiss of death
Turn hellhound turn
turn me on
A Filipino Scot got a Rolex watch
Got a gardening shear
cos we're doing it here
The gang are the king's pages
With one or two lines
I ain't very good
But I'll wait for my time
Turn hellhound turn
Turn me on
Such a long time ago
An elephant shaped cake
Two sets of twins with the same initials
Suzie dead of cancer
Eddie had thick lips
The black witch never showed
My mum became a white witch
We did it in a dusty footy pitch
I was on the mic, promising a fight
Southern Africa, 1979
Swapo guerillas & black mambas
I shot myself in the foot
What was the real danger?
How should I have taken care of myself?
How should I have been cared for?

Pete Um Cambridge, UK

"A master of the miniature electro-acoustic song-poem, a form he has more or less invented and crystallised himself, his work displays a sardonic wit combined with a healthy misanthropy, in marvellous micro-collages of voice, instruments, samples, and electronics."
