It’s Bandcamp Friday, and previously sold out releases from our Rivertones label are now back in stock.

BE•ONE is a four-track album imagines the sound of British summertime as heard by one of the most important members of the animal kingdom – the bee. A hypnotic conceptualisation of the life, work and living environment of the bee, One is a truly transcendental record. The soundtrack to artist Wolfgang Buttress’ multiple-award-winning UK Pavilion at the 2015 Milan Expo, the album was recorded by musicians Kev Bales and Tony Foster (known for work with Spiritualized, Julian Cope, Dave Gahan and Mark Lanegan), as well as Jason Pierce, Youth, cellist Deidre Bencsik, vocalist Camille Buttress and Amiina, the string section regularly used by Sigur Rós.

Back in stock on both CD and vinyl.

Cosmic Neighbourhood’s Gatherings is an album made for wild imaginations and deep daydreams. Its fourteen tracks provide the kind of trip you can take if you close your eyes tight enough and let your mind wander. It’s the music of small things, groovy sounds from way underground that’s inspired as much by Martin Rev and Moondog as it is by walking trees, pine cones catching the bus, nocturnal farmyard symphonies and the movements of butterflies reimagined through restless drum machines.

Cosmic Neighbourhood is the musical alias of York-based illustrator and musician Adam Higton. Adam’s work encompasses comic strips, collage and sound art and documents the daily goings-on of the forest folk within the realm of the Cosmic Neighbourhood. 

Back in stock on vinyl, and as a bundle with Adam Higton patch and mini-print.

Elsewhere, you’ll find books and zines on field recordings, Cornish seaweed-collecting, and London’s community gardens, as well as the very last units of our merch collaboration with Folk (illustrated by Adam Higton). Peruse the whole shop here.
