Surrender to Summer
by The Japanese War Effort
This is probably our coolest physical object to date – a clear 10″ vinyl record, streaked with colour, and sold with a packet of the very same custom rock sweets which feature on the sleeve artwork. Here is a picture of it – please say nice things, because I am very pleased with myself!

Jamie Scott is more commonly known as one half of experimental pop outfit Conquering Animal Sound, but I have always loved his solo stuff, and have been itching to put this EP on vinyl since I first heard it. It’s maybe not the most financially sensible way to run a label, but I was quite prepared to make 249 spare copies of this, just so I could have the 250th for myself.
