Hello folks!

I’m delighted to finally present the long-awaited reissue of my second album, People & Industry, in a special two disc edition. It’s one I always get asked for at gigs, having long been out of print.

Originally released in September 2021, this is a beautiful new edition featuring four bonus tracks on a second 12"disc which have never been released on vinyl before.

“It’s been amazing to revisit this album”, says Gordon Chapman-Fox. “It’s one that people didn't get chance to hear, and it was overlooked following the success of the debut album, "Interim Report March 1979", but revisiting it has made me fall in love with it all over again. Returning to the album after five years opened up a whole series of delights at some melodic choices, and some really unusual creative decisions I made.”

The original album came with two bonus tracks as a Bandcamp exclusive. These are now presented here on vinyl for the first time. They are joined on the bonus EP with reworked versions of contemporaneous tracks, one from the original album, and a track that was composed for a live online festival during one of our many lockdowns.

Live dates

If you missed the all-dayer at Iklectik in Peckham, boy did you miss out. Sorry! But everyone on the bill was astonishingly good - a big thanks to Loula Yorke, Polypores, A’Bear, Sulk Rooms and Kylie Monologue for providing an incredible day of entertainment.

Upcoming live dates

I’ve only got a handful of upcoming dates. I’m taking time off from live gigs to really work on the audio-visual element of the shows. I am planning a huge UK tour in April and May 2027, and I hope to be able to start announcing these dates soon.

That’s all for now folks!

Gordon
