05/04/21 - 3 Books and Calendars news

The release of Music for 3 Books and Music from Calendars has been put back a little due to inevitable Covid-related manufacturing delays. Wider distribution is expected to commence on 14th May, which means we should be expecting copies purchased from Bandcamp to be shipping this month at some point. The good news is we now have a tracklist for the Calendars compilation, and news that it will be released on CD as well as LP, catalogue number CDTOT80/LPTOT80.

Since 2017 FSOL have released whats called Calendar albums, which are digitally delivered monthly tracks that form a 12 track album by the end of the year. This release picks the best tracks from the last 4 years and brings them together in a seamlessly mixed 50 minute journey - 11 songs from FSOL, Humanoid and Synth-a engineered and mixed by Yage at FSOL's 9Lwest Studios.
