Pretty much exactly 6 months after the last update, the big news: a new, fully-formed C/F album is out now on digipak CD & download/stream via Heavy Electricity Records on Bandcamp. Free badges with your CD!
The COLDSORE split tape and the remix (part of "A Mass For Shut-Ins") both came out on Totes-Format before Xmess. GRM did his usual excellent design job of course.

Some past news and some future news in the world of C/F.
Firstly, there's an exclusive new track on the 3rd themed benefit album
I've joined in with this year: "self:isolation" released by Andrew from Radio
Free Ul-Quoma/Waheela.
Most unlikely news is probably the live-via-video-stream debut of
Concrete/Field, as part of the I <3 5G events organised with some good
friends. The sounds are on Bandcamp,
the video is on the Internet Archive and YouTube.
The extremely near future (i.e. next week) will bring the second split tape
with COLDSORE on Totes
Format featuring GRMMSK working his usual DIY magic with the packaging. Hopefully not too long
after that will come remixes of COLDSORE & Cahn Ingold Prelog, a new split with WOUND and more.

The last week sees the release of two themed benefit compilations
featuring exclusive Concrete/Field recordings: Vital Things has released a 2CD/download set in
support of the Unist'ot'en
Camp protests against oil pipelines being illegally forced across
sacred indigenous lands. You can get it direct from their website. New co-conspirator Simon Profitt (of
various projects including the magnificent Master Musicians of Dyffryn Moor and Cahn Ingold Prelog) has marked the ignominious exit
of the UK from the EU with a two volume compilation entitled "Withdrawn" which features
time/location-specific recordings made over the period of withdrawal at
11PM on 31st January 2020. All profits will go to the Welsh Refugee Council, a charity organisation
devoted to helping and empowering refugees and asylum seekers start a new
life in Wales.

Exciting news in the C/F camp: 28th November sees the release of "Peruvian
Paul's 16-Step Programme" a split with old friend Savier on Acre Recordings. He remixed my old sounds and I
remixed his remixes. Pre-order is now up on Bandcamp, along with two
preview tracks. Sav's artwork is absolutely eye-melting in the best way,
very chuffed about this release.
Also chuffed to be involved with "Red Flag 2019" on Concrete Tapes, a benefit
for the Labour election campaign. An exclusive, unreleased Concrete/Field
track features, along with fine siblings like Astral Social Club & The
Leaf Library. Tapes have sold out already.

beyond. Contains an exclusive Concrete/Field track and an absolute
