New releases for Autumn
#04 | 22nd aug 2008Hi there! Bristol seems so busy this summer. It seems like every band is playing shows and doing some recording. We should hopefully be seeing the fruits of all this hard work over the next six months.
We have some exciting news for you! The first stitch-stitch release of 2008 (has it really
been two years since our last?) will be a 7" from arctic circle,
whose smiling faces are pictured above.
I think every time that I've seen them over the last few years they have just been better and
better, and they just can't stop writing brilliant songs! If it were a "single", then it would
be a double A-side, i guess - I find it very hard to choose a favourite between the
two tracks, Prancing Pearl and Mother's Ruin. Aaron has done some lovely artwork for it,
depicting forested islands in the arctic circle.
It will be released on the 10th October at the Bristol County Sports Club on Colston St,
with support from Munch Munch and Katapulto. You'll also be able to order it from the site
as well.
Roxanne's new project with friends from Oxford, Bristol and Manchester, the mountain parade, recorded five songs in my kitchen a few weeks ago. We're going to release them as a split album with the truly amazing middle ones sometime later in the year. I can't wait!
If you are an independent record shop and would like to stock our records then please get in touch on our contact form; we would love to work with you, no matter where you are in the world.
Here's another treat from youtube; the complimentary video to the last one I posted;

Swimmers / Drifters
#02 | 24th may 2008Just a quick update to encourage you to watch Frànçois' enchanting new video for Swimmers / Drifters (on the Too Pure 7"). It was filmed by Edwin Mingard in Peacehaven.
Spring and summer update to follow soon!
New Site
#01 | 5th mar 2008Hello and welcome to the new Stitch-Stitch Records website! We're really excited about it and hope you are too. It's not perfect though; there are quite a few things that need straightening out and some other stuff that needs filling in. It looks its best in Firefox, but is perfectly useable in other browsers (we're still working on grumpy old Internet Explorer).
Lots of stuff has happened over the last year; here's most of what I can remember:
In the coming weeks the shop should begin to get up and running, as we get all our records together. If you sign up to the mailing list (just to the right there) then we can let you know when the shop is opening.
Frànçois and
Ray Rumours have a
new split 7" out as part of Too Pure's singles club.
If you sign up, then you can get a whole year of singles (starting with last October's) for £30.
It looks amazing:
You can also get Ray Rumours' split CD with Caz Mechanic over at Tome Records. It's got some great songs on it, including a live track with My Two Toms and Kasper from Bare Knees/Arctic Circle.
Aaron's drawings were featured over at Said the Gramophone in December, along with the My Two Toms, Maher Shalal Hash Baz and Frànçois songs they were drawn for. He's also got a new website for all of his drawings.
roxanne:theearlyyears self-released her album last year. You can get it from the Here Shop in Bristol, and you'll be able to get it from here when the shop is open. She's also on tour with Winston Echo in May - keep your eye on the Run-Run page for more information.
I Know I Have No Collar have been playing a few shows here and there. They have some new songs, which might be recorded soon; plus I'm Missing will be re-released and These Are Our Numbers will be mixed and given a full release.
Ladybird is off travelling the world again. You can find all of his tour dates on his myspace page. He needs some help with dates, so if you live in the US/Canada you should get in touch and put him on!
