PRE-ORDER ON LTD EDITION 7": http://bit.ly/2xjj9Xq

Following their well received debut single - the 10 minute long Alternative Facts released in June as part of Too Pure's singles club - Mush have returned with a new AA 7" due for release on the 17th November.

Whilst their previous single called out the bullshit of the White House press department, this time round Mush have set their sights on those despicable creeps; the people who exclusively live their lives in the comments section of online articles. Meanwhile on the flip-side 'Luxury Animals' is a call to arms to "sack off work and go lay down somewhere instead".

The tracks were recorded with Matt Peel at The Nave and combine clever Television'esque interplay with the slacker-rock of their previous singles. Since forming early in 2016, the Leeds four piece have recorded an EP with MJ at Suburban Studios, been invited by Marc Riley for a BBC 6 Music session and supported the likes of Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and Happyness. You can catch them live at the following dates with a longer tour to be confirmed shortly…

10th October - Soup Kitchen, Manchester (w/ Ulrika Spacek) 12th October - Oslo, London (w/ Ulrika Spacek) 15th October - Oporto, Leeds (headline) 21st October - Hug and Pint, Glasgow (Massive Sanctions all dayer) 9th November - Shacklewell Arms, London (w/ Drahla) 11th November - Rough Trade West (instore) 12th November - The Old England, Bristol (single launch).

Pressing Information Ltd to 300 copies. First 50 pre-orders come with a very limited floppy disc containing hidden content. You'll also get an instant download of Luxury Animals when you order.

7" hand cut record, limited to 25. Available at our site from 1pm, 26.12.15: https://artishardrecords.limitedrun.com/products/565260?preview=true

I Love Your Lifestyle are 5 long time friends from Sweden. They started the band to play fun melodic punk that maintained the melancholy sense of the Swedish music tradition. They've toured Sweden, Russia, Germany and the UK and played with the likes of Joan of Arc, Football, etc and The World Is A Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid To Die. Jazz Nights is a song all about the highs and lows of Christmas and more specifically Boxing Day.

As with previous Hand Cut singles, 'Jazz Nights' will be released on lathe cut 7″ and limited to 25 copies. The 25 copies will be available from our shop at 1pm on boxing day! As always it’s worth pointing out that because these records are handcut, they will sound slightly lofi! If you’re not down with that, then the track is available for free download from both our Bandcamp and Soundcloud.
