We made some music for Jotta



Art-collaborating-exhibiting company Jotta caught us stealing their delicious pies cooling on their Asplund oak finish windowsill, and in return for not telling our parents made us agree to compose some music for their series of videos. It was a no-brainer really- I don't want Mama Kingdom finding out about our transgressionin'.

Watch the video above. There are three songs on the soundtrack, two are ours. Guess which one is not. First correct answer wins a jpeg made by James.

Of course, if James answers correctly he'll send himself his own jpeg and the universe will implode.

DON'T GIVE ME A HARD TIME, BABY!

This song is by a guy called Damian Aspinall, and it's a band favourite, so we thought we'd post it for you.

This record apparently is very rare; we couldn't find any info online about it. Not sure what that says about Mr Aspinall's music career. It's commendable that he even made it in the first place. The sleeve basically has a press release printed on it. The whole thing's pretty brilliant. His wiki page looks suspiciously self-written (PROMISE: I shall never write my own wikipedia page)- I love that there's a link to a European royal peerage website at the bottom of it.

If you came here via Fake DIY, then you've already read as much as we know about it. The b-side was a reggae song, which is probably best left unheard. Download it below:
