Frontman Hal Sinden comments:
“It’s always nice to know when someone wants a bit of you. We were convinced that the physical market was dead and gone, indeed we’d still say the reign of the standard CD jewel case is long since over, so we need to make sure that if we’re going to offer a hard copy of something then it had better be special.”
The EP feature over 20 colour pages containing lyrics, information on the album’s construction & background and selected images from a series of themed photoshoots shot by the band and their label colleagues.
As extra incentives to ensure the album's release, the band are offering rewards for pledgers including signed posters, names (and even pictures) on the album itself, high tea with the band in the nation’s capital, spoken word recordings, appearances on the next full-length album and even a private show at London’s Berry Street Studio.
To contribute a pledge to the band's campaign, which runs until 4th April 2014, please visit the Kickstarter page. For more information on the band, please visit their official website.
