Tuesday May 15 10:28amUPDATE: HEAT RASH No. 3
An update, and an apology.
Obviously, whether you subscribed to the series long ago, or more recently when we offered the one-off opportunity to purchase issue #3, if all had gone according to plan you’d have received the magazine and 7″ a fair time ago.
Due to our extensive touring and the spinning of numerous plates however, we’ve not got it completed as quickly as we’d anticipated or have liked to. Heat Rash is written, designed and edited entirely by us, with no help from outside the 7 of us, so it’s a large and time consuming undertaking. Although, of course this is no excuse ’cause you’ve given us your money for it.
We now have the 7″s in our possession and they’re the best looking (as well as showcasing the best HR songs) to date. Once the ‘zine is back from the printers (this also, is easily the highest quality ‘zine we’ve produced so far), we’ll have them immediately packaged up and sent out to you (we do all this ourselves too).
Once we know exactly when things are being posted we’ll email you the mp3s of the two new songs so you all receive them at the same time.
As ever, thank you for your support, and I’m incredibly sorry (and annoyed myself) that it’s been so long in coming.
Best,
G
ps. If you have changed address since ordering or receiving the last issue, please let us know of these changes via askheatrash@gmail.com.
HEAT RASH NO.3: FOOTNOTES
“Footnotes is intended as a companion piece to our recent album Hello Sadness. It includes a very detailed track-by-track guide to the lyrics, writing and recording of the album, as well as ‘context pieces’ creating as detailed and transparent a picture as possible of the time we spent in the studio and living in Figueres.
As well as this, Footnotes is accompanied by a 7″ (and digital download) of two songs from the Hello Sadness sessions which didn’t quite make it onto the album. The tracklist is as follows.
A. Allez Les Blues
AA. Dumb Luck
Due to the issue’s relevance to the wider world of Los Campesinos! we are giving the opportunity to purchase the issue to those of you who are not Heat Rash subscribers. Hopefully this will pique your interest for the next time we do something similar.”
Heat Rash No. 3 is available to pre-order here.
