    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

Pregnancy on myself
I'm a real soul-driver
Can't get enough
Take me home
One for the money
two for the show
three to get ready
and four to go home
five for democracy
six for sex
What has become of us?
What the hell's next?
Race under seige
See under fucked
Up on our hind legs
And down on our luck
Meteorites come fall from the sky
Mash up the Earth
no-one left to ask why
Dog in a jumpsuit
Spinning in space
Bury your bone
In a different place
Christ on a bicycle
Man on the moon
Streets full of people
Me in my room
Don't want for company
Beg for a crutch
Put on a mask
And the fucker got stuck
Grin for posterity
Weep for the past
Hold out your hand
To get up off your arse.
One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
And four to go home
I think when I talk.
And you clink when you walk.
I try to be morally sound
Is that why you put everybody down?
I can see the invisible.
Is that why your face looks funny?

about

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."
