👶👼 ICH BIN EIN BEGINNER 👼👶 15/10/25

The next single from our debut album The Family Computer is coming out next Wednesday.

This song is the beating heart of The Organisation, our alarm clock song connecting each of our addled brain stems to the mainframe.

First we are born, then the trouble all begins.

Join us and @computerisaband @golden_toad_hq next Saturday to celebrate it's birth

🖥️ONE MONTH OF THE FAMILY COMPUTER🖥️

Our debut album was birthed into the world just over a month ago, and more like a giraffe or a horse or maybe a spider than a human baby, it was born with the capacity to run and leave and live by itself in the world without us, while we watched misty eyed from afar. Massive thanks to everyone who's listened, broadcast, written or talked about the album (assuming it was nice) we love you.

Thanks to everyone who came down to celebrate at our SOLD OUT album launch show at the Windmill on Wednesday, and thanks to David and Rachel for joining to make us briefly a much cooler 7 piece.

Our next show is on the 26th February at The Finsbury with @golden_toad_hq and @cracked_lime lfg

Last summer we went down to Brighton to record The Sunburn Artist, Harry's short film vision to accompany our album's closer Conversations With David Berman (Was That Civilized?)

In the video a tragically misguided beach side entertainer uses his own skin as a medium for his feelings.

Here are some BTS shots, including Leo being approached by genuinely concerned suncream salesmen. Props to the makeup team (also Harry). by @skivingband

🖥️ THE FAMILY COMPUTER - OUT NOW 🖥️

We're incredibly excited to share with you our debut album, The Family Computer, out now on @exagrecords.

This band is weird and silly but also these songs have genuinely been a huge part of our lives for the last few years and we are so happy to be finally sharing them with you.

Here are some moments from the making of the record, some of which sadly didn't make the final cut.

Apologies to Juan who was there on wrap day but must've been in the bog or something when we took this pic, so he's had to take Adams face.

Production/mixing/engineering - @adamskibrown and @conorkaudio
Mastering - @petermahermusicproduction
Additional synths and BVs - @agatagenissel
Additional trombone and BVs - @rach___3.0
