A New Release: The Happiness Patrol Take Part In the Hal Tapes Museum of Microcassette Art Project

Here is our appallingly titled contribution to the Hap Tapes Museum of Microcassette Art project.

Improvised and recorded live onto our malfunctioning Dictaphone this is essentially a semi-random collection of found noises and samples with a train ride from Dinting to Broadbottom thrown in for good measure.

Is it any good? Don't ask us. You can however listen to and download it here:

As Hal has spent quite a lot of his own money paying for this project please make some sort of payment, even if it's just £0.50/$0.50, if you choose to download the album

Lastly, thank you once again Hal for allowing us to take part in this project.

"In Tongues" MP3 Compilation

Don't think I've plugged this Happiness Patrol related release here on the blog so I'm doing it right now:

"In Tongues" MP3 album Waxen Wings label

A various artists compilation which includes "The Late Great Unlamented John Betjeman Bullshit Detector" by The Happiness Patrol.

‘In Tongues’ is made up of songs written using ONLY sounds made by the human voice. This means no oscillators, no traditional synths or instruments, etc. Of course any and all effects, manipulations, modifications and resynthesis were both permitted and encouraged in the creation of these works.
