We at Floating Mill hope to keep those surprises coming, reissuing LOK’s debut release for the first time, adding the originally planned B-side to our tapes. The type I and type II tapes, housed in an oversized j-card, come UV printed. Really excited about this one!
Our reissue of @lackofknowledgeofficial 's debut release, The Uninvited, is now fully available–preordered tapes are in the mail and should be arriving soon!
After their debut release in 1982, “The Uninvited” was played by John Peel, LOK was signed to Crass Records, they released three 7”s and one LP, and placed on the UK indie charts. Given their self-destructive nature, they “were always surprised if anybody liked” them.
Our tapes, officially out on March 23, are housed in massive screen printed 18.75” x 9” trifold inserts (to mimic the original oversized packaging) and Velcro-fastened plastic sleeves. As always, all tapes recorded in real time by Floating Mill. Screen printing by @RevivalPrintCo
Last Friday, Bandcamp announced this best punk of 2022 list, which features Self Improvement’s Visible Damage! I was so excited and thankful that I forgot to tweet about it! So cool to have our fifth release high lighted like this—thanks Bandcamp & Kerry!
