Some are saying 'This Blue Earth' is the greatest album of 2025. We agree. Largely because that's us saying it.
But either way, amidst the flurry of End of Year album lists we're not yet making, we'd recommend you get to know it

We've reduced the price of our latest album, 'This Blue Earth' on CD & vinyl so those who are yet to get their mitts on it can do so, and can be more like Stanley..

We've needed a bit of recuperation since the big launch of This Blue Earth, and are now gearing ourselves for getting out and about across the UK next year - we're doing most things ourselves, so does anyone have any good promoters in other cities they'd recommend!?
