đ´ All Hell – 5 New Versions and a Cover Available Now!
Today we release a special extended digital version, of All Hell, featuring 5 re-worked versions of songs from the album, plus a cover of the song âWaitâ by the Secret Stars, made famous by Death Cab For Cutie.
These new versions, produced once again by Tom and recorded just last month, showcase tracks from the album in a more delicate, stripped back way.
Tom says: âI know itâs self indulgent, but I love the strings on this record, and I love the sax, and I love all the intimate details that can get lost in a fuller arrangement, and stripping the songs back to these skeletal versions allows all those elements and great musicians to come to the front. It wasnât part of the plan, but it became clear that the original vocal performances no longer made sense when presented this way, nor the guitars, so we quickly re-recorded these in a day in Cardiff, and now I love them too.â
The bonus edition of the album is available now and costs just ÂŁ5/$6 to download.
The tracklist comes as followsâŚ
A Psychic Wound (A Cosmic Cheque version)
Long Throes (Punks on the Playlist version)
To Hell in a Handjob (Shucked)
Moonstruck (29 September 2023)
The Coin-Op Guillotine (Sharpen the Blade)
Wait [the Secret Stars cover]
This release will not be available on streaming platforms for the time being, and will only be able to purchase from Monday 22 July until Thursday 25 July, at which point it will be removed from online.
Full disclosure, the timing of this is in the hope of benefitting our UK chart placing this coming Friday. As Iâve referenced before, All Hell could possibly be our first ever UK Top 40 Album, which, 18 years into being a band, with an album that we have self-funded and self-released, would feel like a nice achievement. So the logic here is that by releasing this âDeluxeâ version now, those of you who have already purchased the album on a physical format, might buy a digital copy too, in order to receive the 6 new recordings. If youâve already purchased the album via our webstore or bandcamp you should have received a 20% discount code, so you can get the release for ÂŁ4 rather than ÂŁ5 (or US equivalent). If youâve not received said code, please forward your proof of purchase to [email protected] and weâll hook it up.
I appreciate it mightnât seem particularly Los Camp! to seek validation from the Official Charts Company, but that is not our motivation. Our motivation is that such a success would really stick it to our Haters and Enemies. And you canât really get much more LC! than that, right?
As always, we really appreciate your support.
