Album Out and Album Launch
Our Debut Album Balance is out now! Massive thankyou to everyone who has worked on this record, to Rob Da Bank and all at Sunday Best for making it happen, to all the people who’ve watched our shows over the past three years and stayed with us.
To celebrate the release we will be having our launch party at CAMP Basement on Thursday 2nd June, with DJ Snuff, Jam Baxter and The Last Skeptik. You can buy tickets here or visit the facebook event page.
The CD version, complete with all the lyrics on a beautiful fold-out poster, can be bought online from Rough Trade, Amazon, HMV, Juno or Play.
It is also available to download from iTunes, Amazon, Juno, Play and many more…
We are very proud of the album, we worked with some amazing people on it! Thankyou to Mr. Dan, Rory Atwell, Bob Earland, John Dent, Kwake and Polarbear for helping us to make it what it is! And thankyou to everyone who has supported us so far. We hope to see you at the London show.

This is our first ever headine tour. We have been gigging ourselves into varying states of injury and illness for years, but never like this. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately depending on how you look at it, we cant afford billboards with our name in neon advertising our appearences, but what we can do is let the people who have seen us before and been into it know that we’re coming to them, or near to them, or to a town where their mate lives and we’d love to see you all there.
Slow Slow Out Now!
Limited edition white vinyl available on pre-order or in store at HMV, Rough Trade or Juno…
However – the vinyls don’t have the remixes on them which are brilliant. These are available to download as an MP3 package from iTunes or Amazon.
We at Sound of Rum firmly believe in the power of recent retro collectible so encourage you to GO INTO HMV and buy the white vinyl then download the remixes. If you go to the London store you will no doubt see Kate Archie and Ferry in varying states of disguise redeeming every HMV gift voucher they’ve have ever received, including ones bought for each other last Christmas.
