French For Cartridge

On Friday we release our new album The Golden Hour!

Physical copies are already sold out on pre-order and we’re doing an ‘Adele’ i.e. not streaming it in the first instance. Instead, we’re inviting you to a more social form of listening by organising Golden Hour Listening Parties around the UK and elsewhere.

We’ve had a few try-outs already and it’s been quite special, so keep your ears to the ground and eyes peeled for more information about this in the next few days!

Our new album “The Golden Hour” is out next week!

Physical copies have already sold out, unfortunately, but you can still pre-order a digital copy in our shop.

It feels poignant that our new single called ‘End of the World’ comes out this week, coinciding with Armistice Day as well as the election of the new American president.

A year ago we started recording a new album. As things progressed, we realized we had written quite a dark and politically charged set of songs taking in subjects like war, loss, the destruction of our environment and depression. This is not something we set out to do - we’re quite a happy bunch - but in the prevailing climate, it felt like we had to say something.

Little did we know that a year, a referendum and an election later, things would look so much worse.

So, here it is, a song called ’ End of the World, written about a mother who crashed herself and her three children into an oncoming bus. This, whilst talking on the phone to her husband, who was sitting on that very same bus trying to talk her out of it. 

The song also took inspiration from one of the persons interviewed in Werner Herzog’s movie ‘Encounters at the End of the World’. Set in the Antarctic, this man, a refugee from former Yugoslavia, tells us how he always has a bag packed, ready to leave even when he has reached as far away from civilisation as possible. Just in case the worst will happen.

At the moment it feels like we all need to have our bags packed.
