Four brand new tracks. Pure GRIM17!
This is our first EP release in a while, and it marks the start of a new run for the label. We’ve got at least four projects lined up this year, plus lots of singles, a few bonus things and more. Things are moving again.
You can hear the lead single These Men on streaming platforms, but the full EP is limited to Cassette Tape ONLY, and it’s seriously limited edition!!
We’ve only pressed 50 cassette tapes.
A chunk of those are already earmarked for GRIM17’s live shows. So what we have online is seriously low stock.
PLUS right now, to celebrate the launch of the new Lights And Lines website, all albums and EPs are discounted - including this one.
The tapes are currently on their way to us, we will ship them as soon as we have them. Don’t delay, get yours today x
About the EP - In GRIM’s own words
Men are NOT alright.
Between mental health crises, conmen misogyny influencers, government backed thugs and militias, and the handful of terminally greedy tech bros hoarding all the money, us boys are just DETERMINED to make our personal problems EVERYONE'S problem.
So, here's a glitchy, grungy nursery rhyme to soothe the giant hairy toddlers…
These Men comes as part of a cassette only release called The Pink Moustache EP along with two unreleased tracks and a playful 8-bitesque remix.
And, for Gen Z, the cash-strapped and the commendably lazy, it's also available as a stand-alone single on all streaming platforms!
There's a thematic cohesiveness to this album that brings out the very best of Gozer Goodspeed's incredible guitar playing, soulful vocals, and precise attention to detail in songwriting.
Gozer is always moving forward, developing his distinct sound, and experimenting. Tracks like Full Tilt Revival showcase his progression through the use of slide guitar - a first for Gozer - while the emotive and driving blues-rock grooves embedded in the title track Escape Hatch Fever showcase Gozer’s impressive guitar skills and unique mastery of melody.
Throughout his impressive catalogue of work Gozer Goodspeed has always been a pioneer of his own unique sound, drawing on a variety of influences from the depths of indie, folk, blues, and rock music and carving a space that is entirely his own.
Escape Hatch Fever is the first 'full band' release recorded entirely at Gozer's home studio, gifting him a unique opportunity to push the boundaries even further and experiment with new ideas and techniques - the result is simply fantastic!
An assured, thoughtful, and playful release from one of the most talented and original artists of our time, Escape Hatch Fever is an album that will live long in the memory of Gozer Goodspeed fans new and old.
Choose. how you listen
For the VINYL lovers our there LAL-V001 is here, and the FIRST PRESS is limited to just 50 copies. This one means a lot to us and we know many of you will enjoy this beautiful shiny record!
Plus of course we have CD’s.
And an Acoustic Version of the album on CD. The best songs ever written are usually the ones you can strip right back to the bare bones and they sound just as good. Escape Hatch Fever Acoustic takes that one step further, offering a complementary but completely altered experience.
To hear both versions of the album in one place why not try the DELUXE EDITION CASSETTE TAPE featuring the original Electric version of the Escape Hatch Fever album on the A side, and the Acoustic version on the B side!
Plus there’s a FAN BUNDLE which includes both CDs and the Tape.
What are people saying about the album?
"yet another release that showcases the storytelling qualities of Goodspeed…"
- Indie Band Guru
"This is hard-nosed blues with a rumbling edge that tells a bristling story that will get you pounding the border line of your own constraints, wherever they might be – the dancefloor, the screen or even your imagination."
- PRSD
"You can imagine hearing this on a prestige TV drama like Breaking Bad or Tulsa King"
- YHHTMPC
Fractured is the second full-length album from Beth Sarah, and the first released on Lights And Lines.
After picking up the #AlbumWritingClub Best Album award back in 2023 we’re delighted to finally be able to share Fractured with you in it’s full glory!
The album explores the raw and beautiful tension of human relationships — from miscommunication and heartbreak to healing and rediscovery. Combining 90s-inspired alt-pop with modern acoustic and electronic arrangements, this self-produced album is Beth’s most personal work to date.
Focusing on the fragility of the human condition Beth Sarah has taken inspiration from past and present on Fractured, using hand-written notes from as far back as 1996 as inspiration, and collated lyrical content along the theme of relationships – falling in love, break ups, affairs, the end of friendships.
While many of the ideas had already been formed back then, Fractured brings what was a collection of random verses and choruses together, re-working and re-structuring them into fully formed songs.
Beth also sought to deliberately explore genres she hadn't looked at before to the point that the arrangements became an obsession during the production. The result is something seemingly familiar yet completely unique, not only lyrically fractured, but fractured across genres too.
The “Head or Heart” CD
Fractured comes in one of our beautiful 4 panel, environmentally friendly CD packs! We'll also throw in a Lights And Lines beer mat, some stickers and some other merch bits if we have them..
