  • Two track, stereophonic, lathe cut black 7"
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Lathe-cut 7" single, hand-made laminated picture sleeve, polylined inner bag and polythene outer cover. Stupidly limited 2nd run of 11 discs, black this time with large centre holes. Get that spindle adaptor out. Running time is approx 8.25 in total. These are the last copies ever. Please don't just buy one and stick it on Discogs for an inflated price, it's really annoying for everyone else, especially those who miss out on it. I know, because they've told me. Postage on one is £2.50 UK, £5 Europe, £6.50 everywhere else.

  • Two track, stereophonic, lathe cut transparent 7"
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Lathe-cut 7" single, hand-made laminated picture sleeve, polylined inner bag and polythene outer cover. These are produced individually to order, hence the quoted shipping date below! 50 copies available. Please note that these are all large/jukebox hole, heavyweight transparent discs (which sound ace). Get that spindle adaptor out. Running time is approx 8.25 in total. Please don't just buy one and stick it on Discogs for an inflated price, it's really annoying for everyone else, especially those who miss out on a copy. I know, because they've told me. Postage on one is £2.50 UK, £5 Europe, £6.50 everywhere else.

    'Sonic Royalty' (honestly, someone actually called him that once) Ben Hayes returns wearing his tattered but stylish Soundhog chapeau, with a very limited hand-crafted two track 7" single of perky analogue synthesizer tuneage. A follow up to his 2018 release 'Newtown Parkway/Astrablast' on the legendary Castles In Space label, Faux Em Di continues in a similar vein of the slightly twisted early instrumental synth pop which left an indelible mark on an impressionable North Walian pre-teen, especially the first four albums by a certain duo from nearby Wirral. You may have spotted the sonic and visual clues already. Fall Frost is a light, melodic piece which recalls a holiday on the Llŷn Peninsula in 1981, armed with a portable cassette recorder and AM radio. A Different Bias started out as a sequel to Newtown Parkway, but took a diversion down a slightly darker road (passing a certain telephone box on the way perhaps?)

    Instruments used: Korg M500SP Micro-Preset, Korg MS20, Roland SH2, Roland JX8P, Roland CR78, Farfisa Compact Duo. Recorded at The Bungalow in October 2020.
