I mixed this record with Raf and Jack in March 2020. It was the final week before the first lockdown in the UK and I'll never forget the feeling of unease in the pub across the road and how privileged I felt at being able to shun the world for a few more days to work on these enchanting recordings. It will always be one of my favourite projects to have been on the team for. Big up to Raf for having me involved and big up Saul for writing such singular tunes. I'm glad the world can finally hear it.

[@LouSmith]

Thanks for the back story James. I was similarly lucky to be doing music related work during lockdown, and also to have been sent the link to this recording. It’s really a wonderful slice of genius by all those involved. I am also so happy that it is out in the world finally. It’s getting unprecedented, but deserved love here. Thanks for helping bring it to us.

DOMINO RECORDS please release this

[@LouSmith]

I guess you saw Saul’s worrying post. You could try messaging Domino directly.

[@pigeonheadedman5225]

Yeah I emailed them. It would be good if others could too to show them that theres an audience for this album

[@LouSmith]

@pigeonheadedman5225 good man! the viewing stats for this alone would show that. It gets unprecedented love and views for an upload, coming in the top five or ten of my top videos every month since I published. I think it’s sick that they won’t release it to other labels rather than just sitting on it. Honestly, I wouldn’t put it past them to be hoping for Saul to die so they can release it at this point.

[@pigeonheadedman5225]

@@LouSmith yeah it makes me feel ill but thats probably the truth. Its heartbreaking really.

[@lizwithoutbuildings]

I just don't get what they're trying to achieve or who they think they're helping. If they don't want to release it that's their prerogative, technically, but if another label is interested then surely they have no reason to keep it locked away. What are they even trying to prove?

[@PlanInch]

Still the most beautiful dark and tortured folk thing I've ever listened to in my life after the 547th listen.

[@LouSmith]

So you're the person pushing up the stats!? Tbh for a non video video, this is consistently in my top viewed content since I uploaded it, so I think a great many people feel and do as you are.

[@RMBII91]

Insecure Men and Serf's Up were two of my favorite releases from the '10s, and this will no doubt be one of my top favorites from the '20s. Saul really knows how to reach my ear.. Thank you for posting this, Lou, indeed what would we do without you?

[@LouSmith]

🙏💚 yes, both beauties. There is in fact another Insecure Men album recorded on Fat Possum called Into the Bog which is another gem that might not ever see the light of a release. I think if you check the moth club IM gig there are a couple of tracks off it there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5nTaYJ8fryjqdk Karen, In the (Gulag) of Your Heart, Leave Me Where I Lie, Norman are the songs off it.

This is just an incredible record. Still discovering new ways to love it after over a year. Thanks as always Lou.

[@LouSmith]

Thanks. It is superb. It may yet get a release, fingers crossed. It is every month near the top of my most viewed videos, so there must be quite a few people in your boat.

[@jameswindels-lyte1032]

I am completely hooked to this and can’t wait til I save enough to purchase a copy. Skint as per

[@jameswindels-lyte1032]

Although to be fair, Saul used to pike loads of fags off of me back in the day so I reckon I should get a discount 😉

[@LouSmith]

Haha. Good luck with that discount. There are none of these records for sale anywhere. They must be the most sought after vinyl of a current artist around. Only 500 pressed under licence. I did get two with different sleeves and personalised message.

[@kogenserrano879]

been listening on repeat since getting home from work yesterday - what an astonishing album. bracingly emotional, autumnal slice of new weird britain. highlights for me are Kent, I Miss Living Without You, and Papa Baja. cheers again Lou, gonna have this one on the figurative turntable for a long time to come

[@LouSmith]

It can withstand a lifetime of listening, I’m sure. It’s really beautiful. There’s an insecure men album sitting in limbo, waiting to be set free to look forward to

[@brunopackardhill3296]

The first track "The Midlands!!! I'm never ever blown away so much now days, but that definately does

[@LouSmith]

Yeah. It's a beauty. So melancholic.

[@charliehackforth5848]

Just found this over the weekend. I've listened to 'I Miss Living Without You' at least 100 times since, surely the best song I've heard all year. Amazing to realise these photos are from St. Giles Church one road over from me, What I wouldn't do to get this on wax... Thank you Lou!

[@LouSmith]

Hey Charlie. Indeed, it’s a beauty. Such a sweet melody, and then the slightly barbed lyric offsetting that. I guess you missed the memo about this gig then? Shame. Hopefully there will be an official release of the album again. I think this was a run of 500 which makes them currently pretty rare. Thanks for the comment.

[@PontiacS.]

Fantastic Music Saul. Glad your Well. Thanks Lou.

[@LouSmith]

🙏 yes. A lot of love for this performance.

[@isaacraynor10]

Kent is an incredible song. Thanks for uploading this, Saul is fiercely talented.

[@LouSmith]

It's a beauty. Hard to fault any of it. Kent had the most name changes of them though.

[@NelsonLovesQuinton]

this is exactly what i hoped it would be. i hope saul realises this is as wonderful as it is

[@LouSmith]

Well that’s a relief! After a long wait. It’s been sitting in limbo for three years, so i imagine Saul has been in and out of love with it over that time.

[@whereisjulia]

Ahhh finally!!! Thank you VERY much for this Lou 🙏🏻 Truly doing god's work

[@LouSmith]

Thanks. Yes, it took a while. Hopefully it’ll remain here as testament.

[@kogenserrano879]

1 year later, still returning to this album more than almost any other. Thank you Lou, keep up the great work!

[@LouSmith]

Thanks. Yes, my stats corroborate that. It’s regularly rating top five of my vids over time. It may well live to see an official release through Domino too one day, though they’re looking for another insecure men album first, then release this subsequently.

[@oscar-ct8is]

unbelievably beautiful album. i hope this reaches more people and he considers doing a repress! i desperately want a copy

[@LouSmith]

It is hauntingly beautiful. It’s only partly in Saul’s hands to issue a re-press. His label shied away from releasing it at all, eventually agreeing to this release under licence. Seeing that it went well, and didn’t attract the feared and threatened cancelling actions by others, there was the very beginning of a possibility of an official release. The label did have this video taken down, but reinstated it after Saul furiously intervened. Apparently it was just the legal dept acting independently, with management seemingly giving me a pass on it. Not sure what happened since then. You may have to buy a second hand one.

[@oscar-ct8is]

@@LouSmith thanks so much for the info! i will try to hunt down a copy from someone

[@gkarws]

@@LouSmith will that amount get you into a show over there???? Lol (watching the new one as we speak ;-) )

[@LouSmith]

More than! I have been afforded free access to all gigs I wish to attend for quite a while now. Local venues, my face is my ticket, and I can always ask for a guest list for other venues. Also, I now qualify for free public transport, fortunate since I had two cars stolen last year. Fat White Family are doing an in store show next week for which I did buy a ticket. Trouble is now that they’re playing big venues which are much harder to film successfully due to the much louder sound, which just sounds muddy and distorted on my camera. I don’t get paid for any of the work that goes into this channel though, which amounts to tens of hours a week in average, with just the measly ad revenue of around $45 a week coming in, so your generosity is definitely appreciated. The FWF in store will be a stripped back unit I believe. There’s quite a rift formed between the two camps since Saul was ousted, with me trying to walk the tentative line between. 😬

My appreciation for this album grows a little more each week -- "Kent" is staggeringly beautiful. I'm sad I slept on the initial pressing but I thank you so much for this. I noticed Saul has been dropping the videos on his Instagram page; I wonder if it bodes well for a proper release, but I doubt it. I guess I'll have to join the email-writing campaign to Domino and Fat Possum then.

[@LouSmith]

You never know. They could at least allow for another licensed release. Pretty sure Saul is being a firebrand and just freeing his works from the shackles of tyranny. Fair play to him. I think it’s a good gambit.

If you’ve got Instagram Saul is posting the Brian video as well as some others. instagram.com/reel/C6tuI-9tLXK/?igsh=c2cycTZ4aG9idGps

[@LouSmith]

Yes, the stills were from that video.

It’s just beautiful ain’t it.

[@LouSmith]

Ain’t it just?

[@clarkgwent1]

Does this record feature my deconstructed piano by any chance? I donated a stand-up to the greater good. I gather it was remade into some kind of behemoth prog rock noise machine.

[@LouSmith]

I would’ve thought you’d be the best judge of that. I think it’s more likely to have ended up on the drone/ gloom project recently aired. This album has been recorded for a couple of years, maybe three.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@evelanpatton]

I don’t have muche$ so I try to contribute back where I feel contributed to…it was inspired by listening to the album a few times. And of course: it’s for both you & Saul. Cheers from the US, just south of Vancouver BC in Wa. 📮🪭📬

[@LouSmith]

@@evelanpatton Very Sweet of you. Thanks.

[@dario5542]

Does anyone know what tuning Saul uses?

[@reubenpugh6030]

will it ever be chucked on streaming?

[@LouSmith]

Personally I hope not, just because I hate how streaming platforms blatantly rip off the artists. Pretty sure Saul doesn’t really do bank accounts, so it’d be even more useless to him than to most.

[@CROEization]

Is there any way to get a copy of this excellent album?

[@LouSmith]

Hmmm! bribery? Buying somebody else’s copy? Realistically, wait for a re press maybe. I’m sure that would work out financially for them if they opted for that.

Porto - Portugal 28 june, Second time, thnx

[@LouSmith]

Nice. Was it this material, or a mix up?

[@FranzBubendorf]

Anyone got any reccomendations for similar stuff to this?

[@LouSmith]

Have you listened to the Insecure Men album? Also Saul. There is a new album, long since recorded from them awaiting release at some point.

[@DFisher-de1dw]

I wonder what would happen if I called this guy. Well, I suppose I'd better try it and find out.

[@LouSmith]

I would imagine not much. But let us know. Could be a series in it.

[@mysticgeneie4668]

He wrote a Paul Sykes quote on my copy lol

[@LouSmith]

Nice. Paul Sykes didn’t mince words. Just faces. That’ll be a treasure then.

So far at any rate.

[@zammomaguire3835]

We need a Fred dibnah song from Saul 😂😎

[@LouSmith]

Definitely. I’ve got the boxed set.

[@zammomaguire3835]

Just heard it through a proper rig!!!! 😎Lovely stuff Saul! The Production is a way more than my first thought!😎 lou your always killing it brother🥷

[@LouSmith]

Love the production on this. It’s kind of massive and understated at the same time with some disturbing undertones. They all did great jobs. Shame on Domino for not having the balls to release it.

[@zammomaguire3835]

The shots you got at the “Brian”shoot !!! Totes amazeballs lou 😂😎

[@LouSmith]

Thanks my man. Yes, that was my job for the day. The Landy actually saved the day, as the locations were spread out over farmland which was steep and muddy to get to and it was tipping down in and of most of the day, so it acted as camera caddy and dry storage for the tech gear. Otherwise they’d have been stuffed.

[@samreiser5759]

Who is carrying these import records in the mid Atlantic of the U.S. ? I can never find this stuff in stores and they always drop when I’m fuckin broke. HMU if you’re in the VA/MD area and you buy stuff like this. You should be cause homies this is the real shit.

[@LouSmith]

Hey Sam. This record was never available, except as a limited pressing of 500 copies under licence from Domino by Juicy Juice records, and then only in person at a short run of gigs around the country. The only way you’d get one would be second hand if you could find somebody willing to sell. A long term strategy might be to contact Domino direct and plead the case for a proper release.
