500 sales from the UK Top 40 – can we do it AGAIN?!
I’ve got a question for you: can we do it again?
In 2021 you put my first Penfriend album “Exotic Monsters” into the Official UK Albums Chart at number 24.
WHAT?!!
I recorded every single note of that album in my attic bedroom studio and released it on my own label, and there it was, bumping up against albums from Warner Brothers, Domino and Polydor. I’d have loved to be a fly on the wall in their meetings that Friday.
Now you are REALLY spoiling me. My new album “One In A Thousand”, a collaboration with my friend Rat from Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, is approximately 500 sales away from smashing into the Top 40.
No manager, no agent, no big label, no PR and radio plugger. No pay to play, no pay to get played. Just us and you.
Rat and I are so proud of the music we’ve made, and I can’t wait to send it to you – so I won’t!
When you pre-order “One In A Thousand” directly from my shop, you get access to the full range of limited edition music and merch only available there, PLUS your contribution goes directly to us.
We’re cutting out all of the middlemen.
I’ll also email you four songs immediately, with another one coming your way before the album release date of 23rd February 2023.
