7" Clear Vinyl Lathe Cut Single
(Future Grave FG 06)
50 Copies PREORDER
I am very pleased indeed to be offering up the latest recordings from the amazing Sproatly Smith. It has been quite some time since we worked together. This is a real pleasure for me and is well worth waiting for. The lathe contains two wonderful tracks which truly demostrate a band in top form. The A side "Beltane Rain" is a gorgeous, ethereal, trippy acoustic number which floats along into wyrdfolk heaven. Flip over the disc and we have Sproatly's dizzy folkpsyche take on Donovan's "The River Song".
The lathes plays at 45rpm and were expertly cut by Michael Lawrence at Bladud Flies!.
The artwork has been created by Emily Fosbery.
Each lathe is individually numbered and comes with a download code.

Kitchen Cynics & Grey Malkin
Babby's Ghost / An Encounter by Moonlight
7" Clear Vinyl Lathe Cut Single
(Future Grave FG 05)
50 Copies
For the fifth release on Future Grave I offer up the preorder for this outstanding two track 7" single by Kitchen Cynics &
Grey Malkin. Whilst recording the duo's "The Wonder Room" album I suggested the possibility of doing a lathe cut
single. Luckily both Alan and Grey agreed and set about recording these two songs which are not available on the album
itself. These are two ghost stories put to song. The first track "Babby's Ghost" is based on the drowning of Bobby Brown,
the flower of Deeside, and her new husband, when a cable car broke as they were being carried over the River Dee in
spate. The second song "An Encounter by Moonlight" was inspired by Athur Machen's splendid short story "The Happy
Children". This single was mastered by John Cavanagh .The lathes play at 45rpm and were cut by the one and only
Michael Lawrence at Bladud Flies!.Artwork created by Alan Cynics himself.
Each copy of the single is individually hand numbered and comes with a download code.

High In The Foothills / Arid Travels
FG 01
(50 Copies)
This is the debut release on Future Grave. A clear vinyl lathe cut 33.3rpm 7" single which contains two very
wonderful specially recorded tracks. Towards the end of 2019 Adam Cole contacted me to let me know he
had been working with canadian experimental folk singer songwriter and writer Kathleen Yearwood.
The music on this disc is the finished result which I really think is a superb way to start a new label project.
These records have been hand crafted over the last few months to the same standard of care and finish as
usual and are individual pieces of art in themselves. The lathes were expertly cut by Phil Macy at 345RPM.
Each record comes with a hand numbered insert and download code.
