midwich – blisterpack (3″ CD-r, Bells Hill, BH 012, edition of 50 or download)

Yes, yes, I know there is an unwritten rule that nowadays radiofreemidwich does not cover the work of its contributors or editor (a great shame as we are a pride of geniuses but, y’know, ‘integrity’ and all that) HOWEVER a new midwich ‘side’ is a rare occurrence and no money is being requested so: fuck it let’s go…

Your tireless editor is proud to announce the release of blisterpack by midwich on Scott McKeating’s Bells Hill label.  In a development that might raise eyebrows amongst long-term midwich watchers this, err…, ‘mini-album’ comprises 12 tracks totalling a mere 18 minutes.  There is a little of the drone I am usually associated with but, in the main, this is a collection of fun, spiky sketches in the mode of the short interludes you’d often find on earlier midwich recordings.  Scott requested short tracks and it is an aspect of midwich I really enjoyed returning to.  I’ve joked that this is my punk album but it is more like a ‘loops and breaks’ type thing, I guess.  If any of you out there do remixes, create radio jingles or whatnot then feel free to use it for that purpose.  Hope you dig it.

There is a Bandcamp link below but Scott also created 50 copies of this on 3″ CD-r and got Lee ‘Culver’ Stokoe to design some cover art (which is free of his usual prurience – see above).  As we are both true, hardcore, no-audience underground 4EVA these physical objects are not for sale, instead they are offered up as gifts or in trade.  If you’d like one get in touch with me or Scott (try @scottmckeating).
