Boxing Day - French Films About Trains
0:00
It is such an honour to be a part of releasing French Films About Trains first EP. Besides the loveliness of the music within it, Aubben and Grahame have been internet acquantinces since back in those early Myspace days and I have always admired the songs in their heads and hearts. Aubben has been such a huge part of the spirit of HI54LOFI RECORDS since the very beginning, although a lot of that has been a bit hidden in the background, through long email back and forths and Facebook interactions. Of course, you will have heard her voice pop up on more than a few tracks on this site (and even more tracks spread out around the ether), but it is great to finally have a special spot on the site for her and Grahame's tunes.
Here is what they have to say about 'Boxing Day':
“Technically speaking, this is pretty special to us, as it came together in about two week's time and we learned quite a bit about recording. (i.e. turn down the microphone -and- normalizing isn't as rad as it claims). Artistically speaking, these songs were written with the theme of Remember....tell the truth....and look forward. It's fascinating to listen to these tracks after being immersed in them for a couple of weeks and you realize you have a lot to say....to yourself.”
This EP was originally only available digitally… but things have changed. There is now a physical version available. And not just any physical form, but a cool and creatively hand-made physical form. Here's their description:
We believe nothing will replace the real deal. We love the idea of something that we made with our own hands eventually making its way into your own hands. Every little detail of the packaging on this EP was designed and put together by us, even down to the handwritten lyrics - proof that Grahame has much prettier handwriting than Aubben. This little parcel includes, besides the hand-made sleeve and hand-painted CD (each one a one-of-a-kind pine-needle print), and a vellum printed lyric map of the Canadian railroad.
So drop whatever you are doing (unless what you are doing is holding a baby) and swing by their Bandcamp page now. You can either pick up the digital only version for the cost of whatever cost you want (even if that is free) OR you can get the lovley handmade physical version for the price of a fiver (an American fiver… so these days, that is almost free as well :)
