These are the \u003cbr\u003e things that happen. Link wrote the \u003cbr\u003e songs, Dico rounded us up, and\u003cbr\u003e amidst parties resplendent with nudity, \u003cbr\u003e snails, and telefonica, we charged \u003cbr\u003e around Melbourne, our own roving rock \u003cbr\u003e n roll garden party, oozing garage \u003cbr\u003e charm smeared with Link's trademark\u003cbr\u003e pop sensibility. \u003cbr\u003e These tunes were recorded across two \u003cbr\u003e sessions in 2009 by Mikey Young, \u003cbr\u003e (Green Mind, Total Control). He lugged \u003cbr\u003e his reel to reel up the shaky double \u003cbr\u003e flight of stairs to the Cobra Bar, twice, \u003cbr\u003e one Winter, one Spring, where we kept \u003cbr\u003e it light on takes with endless ciggies on \u003cbr\u003e the fire escape. The splendid Beluga \u003cbr\u003e Records have now made these times a \u003cbr\u003e thing to listen to, wrapped by Sora's \u003cbr\u003e watercolour. \u003cbr\u003e Records like this aren't hidden \u003cbr\u003e treasures reclaimed. They're a bunch of \u003cbr\u003e links, friendships after dark, shoulders \u003cbr\u003e held, drinks mixed, lock ins, sake \u003cbr\u003e bombs, Lea Novas behind toilet doors. \u003cbr\u003e Listen to it as a braid, ideas on ideas, \u003cbr\u003e what happens when friendships swell\u003cbr\u003e into song, lightly touch, then fade\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TASHMINTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43630620213492,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0395\/2040\/3623\/products\/1671425801395.jpg?v=1671425822","url":"https:\/\/grevillerecords.com.au\/products\/tashmints-self-titled-vinyl","provider":"GrevilleRecords","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
