Infinite Space
Edition of 319. Ivan The Tolerable Trio are back with an alternate version to the amazing Infinite Peace. 2 epic tracks to take you away into infinite space! "When we went in to ATA studios in Leeds to record the Infinite Peace LP - it was always the plan to have two versions of the album - a straight mix that documented what we actually recorded there in its pure form and another version that would rearrange everything into a new shape. Once the LP was out, I passed all the stems to my old pal/…
Infinite Peace
"This album began as a pipedream about 5 years ago and became reality in the Summer of 2023.

The Long Year
*2024 stock* After the release of last years album Out Of Season (feat Mike Watt) we are delighted to release the follow up The Long Year on November 29th.

(This is to exclude his work as Year Of Birds and Detective Instinct and as a member of Houseplants and King Champion Sounds).
For a man as restlessly, constantly creative as Heffernan, the lockdown is a blessing and a curse. His trusty Tas…
Toft House Session
*2024 stock. 330 copies limited edition* "This album began with an email back in late 2021, Al at Stolen Body Records asked if I wanted to come and record an Astral Session in Bristol to promote an album I'd just released called Out Of Season. I roped in the three people who play on my records that lived the closest to me (Neil Turpin from Bilge Pump/Objections, Robbie Major from Benefits and piano and saxophone wizard Ben Hopkinson) and we had a couple of rehearsals to get a set together - half…
