We love vinyl. Our favourite format has played host to many stunning sleeve designs over the years, and we'd like to celebrate this by inviting artists to create their own one-off sleeve covers for our forthcoming 10" mini-album from Rachael Dadd - "Moth in The Motor".

Every cover submitted will be coupled with a 10" mini-album. Many of these will go on display at an exhibition in February, where Rachael will be playing a special unplugged gig with some of our favourite acts. All artists who submit a cover will be profiled on a permanent section of our site featuring their sleeve cover design, a biog, and links to their work.

The sleeves will be available for sale on the night (with the artist setting the price of his or her work, and with all profits going to the artist), and after the event we will continue to sell all of the submitted sleeves through our shop. We will also be sending the designs out to the press and blog world.

Moth In The Motor will be released as a limited edition 10" in February. In addition to the artist-submitted sleeves, we'll be hand painting and stamping the sleeves of every copy- using linocut stamps created by Rachael Dadd herself. Every pressing of this mini-album will be unique.

Moth In The Motor

Brown like mud Moth flew into town, over my gate with the flags hanging down
Fluttering fast into the wind I am cheering you in, I am cheering you in

Moth in the motor, I've been voting for you
Moth in the motor, I've been counting on you
Moth in the motor, and now I'm cheering you in

White like the stars, and so they follow, with their papery wings and a collective glow
Green like lichen, and still they come, with their army of wings
And I'm cheering them in, and I'm cheering them in

For we've been wielding our machines far too much these days
And there is so much that we don`t need coming to stay
And is it just me, but there's definitely no one asking us first

Moth in the motor, I've been voting for you
Moth in the motor, I've been counting on you
Moth in the motor, and now I'm cheering you in
