New Zealand's Swallow the Rat and New York's Clone shared a stage in Queens, NYC on perhaps the last day before the city shut down in 2020.  A mutual appreciation society was formed over drinks later that night.  Swallow the Rat were in town to play the New Colossus Festival, while Clone were playing what was to be the first date of their debut tour of the East Coast.  There were plans to share the stage again in New Orleans and in Austin at SXSW.


A global pandemic put paid to this, but the bands kept talking.  Both had recently recorded EPs, and so a plan was hatched- a split 12" with songs from both bands.  Four tunes apiece, about the irony of memory recall, the loss of friends by their own hand, frustrations of gender role psyche and the fear of looking back.  Dissonant delayed guitars and martial drums abound, despite the oceans and continents separating the groups.

PRE-ORDERS

PRE-ORDERS

Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS

Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
