  • Gatefold CD, Limited Edition A3 Posters & Download
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This package includes the CD, stickers, and two extremely limited edition A3 posters.

    One is the abstract image of a sperm entering an egg used for the "Cousin / Grandma" artwork. It is drawn, designed, signed and numbered by Squier Squier.
    It's available on brown or white recycled card, so please specify when ordering.

    The other poster is an enlargement of the album's intricate collage poster (minus the cumbersome recording notes, so the composition can breathe in all it's glory).
    Designed by Jade Tomlinson of Expanded Eye.

    This includes a couple of delicious Perhaps Contraption stickers (because everyone loves a sticker).

    Includes unlimited streaming of Listening Bones via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Blimey, it's a copy of our avant-rock fuelled first LP "Sludge & Tripe" combined with the new brass-powered LP "Listening Bones" for a measly tenner.

    Both are housed in double gatefold packaging with intricate artwork and recording notes amongst the booklets and posters galore. We will throw in sticker or two for good measure...

lyrics

Cousin, Dad, Cousin, Cousin, Cousin, Dad, Cousin
GRANDMA

I ain't got no Cousin no Cousin
I ain't got no...

All I've got's my brother, sister

I ain't got no Cousin no Cousin
I ain't got no...

Mumma gone ‘n’ left me
(Cousin, Dad)
Mumma gone away
(Cousin, Cousin)
Mumma gonna tell me
(Cousin, Dad)

I've got no Identity.
She's repressed by my (Grandma / Cousin)
She's repressed by my (Grandma / Cousin)
She.

Multiplication,
Yeah, it's a truth.
Smoothing the friction,
One becomes two.

I’ve got no Identity.

from Listening Bones, released November 3, 2012
Cousin was inspired by Susie Showers, with all her great words and clapping. This was then regurgitated and orchestrated by Squier Squier. DeeDee sung the top line and we played it. All lyrics by Susie, except the “Multiplication” and“Brother’s Sister” lines by Squier.
