I'm releasing the new/sixth Southern Tenant Folk Union album next month on vinyl - first time we've done it for an LP...it's a folk album with politcal lyrics but has a huge soundtrack influence (check out track 4 'Martial Law' for big horror strings) - we're just doing 500 copies but got test pressings back last week and it sounds great...here's the artwork...
Also you can listen in advance here -

Though the vinyl will only have the first 10 tracks you can hear on the soundcloud (the cd version) it will come with a download code for the full 13 cuts...
Here's some more info on the album...and I'll repost here once I get them back from manufacture and they're ready to go on sale...
"This January sees the release of the sixth Southern Tenant Folk Union album ‘The Chuck Norris Project’, the band’s most ambitious album to date. Conceptually the tracks are all named after different movies from the actor’s career (though have nothing to do with the plots and contain no reference to car chases, explosions or karate chops) with each song taking the title as a starting point to discuss political ideas. Band leader Pat McGarvey came upon the idea in autumn 2012 during the last US presidential election when Mr Norris and his wife released a campaign video urging voters to come out for Mitt Romney saying that a vote for Obama would lead to “a thousand years of darkness”, a statement he felt unhelpful to the debate. Musically eclectic the album remains an all-acoustic affair but takes in influences like 70’s disco, folk and soundtrack music mixing elements of composers like John Carpenter, Gene Clark and Fabio Frizzi. The album also features guest vocals from cult Americana songwriter Mike Ferrio (from the bands Tandy & Good Luck Mountain)."
