Monkey Swallows The Universe free download-only single on 'Virtual 7" Vinyl'



Monkey Swallows The Universe are a fantastic acoustic five piece who write beguiling songs about love, jealousy, apathy, imaginary friends and pirates! Their bittersweet indiepop sounds have drawn comparisons with the music of Belle & Sebastian, PJ Harvey and Mazzy Star.

Two splendid songs are now available as a free download-only single taken from the forthcoming Monkey Swallows The Universe album "The Bright Carvings", to be released by Thee SPC on 20th February. See our website [url]www.theespc.com[/img] to download the single.

Balor Knights/Scarlet Tuesday Split 7” Single

Thee SPC presents a limited edition 7" split single featuring The Scarlet Tuesday & Balor Knights on banana yellow vinyl. Five me, three women, two groups and one chunk of vinyl pop explosive! The Scarlet Tuesday and Balor Knights share a fierce rivalry to create the finest two minutes of pop imaginable.
The Scarlet Tuesday give us "A perfect quarter". It's a brilliantly fizzing, heady, rush of melody. It's like The Delgados playing the tune to an 80s computer game. They love those old games, this band. On "Just Like Keenan Says So" Balor Knights ooze the jerk-pop sensibilities of bands such as The Futureheads and Blur, but with a 60s edge that has seen them compared to Love and The Mothers Of Invention.
See our website to pre-order the single and listen to snips. Or check our myspace page at to hear the full songs.


Happy new year!
