TLV033 – THE MAKING OF…
If ever anybody tries to convince you that ‘DIY production’ is easy and cheap and that you should go and do it, you can call them a liar from us. Putting together TLV033 took the entirety of Saturday and Sunday, furnished with bloody papercut fingers and induced thousand yard stares. But we made something beautiful.
These here photos are our weekend in work. Not pictured are the 1000s of hand-folded and -cut fanzines that took an entire Saturday to assemble. It’s worth it. It has to be.
And yes, I know what you’re all wondering – yes, it is an original Bretton hat.
You can pre-order TLV033 from here now.

TLV033 – CALORIES//WILLIAM 4 TRACK SPLIT 7″ – PRE-ORDER
TLV033 – Calories//William – Split 7″
A1: Calories – “Mortal Boys”
A2: Calories – “Drink The Potion”
B1: William – “Dilettante”
B2: William – “Lustreless”
7″ white vinyl
+ exclusive fanzine/poster
Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies
The latest release in the Tough Love split 7″ series brings together Birmingham natives Calories and south-London power trio William. Aesthetically, this record makes a lot of sense to us, both bands charged on the same post-punk/post-hardcore records and coming out of leftfield with a lot of pop structure suss.
Artwork (below) is provided by man-machine and human ink-pad Gordon Armstrong . He’s also the man responsible for the free fanzine/poster inserted into the record sleeve, and the various illustrations and videos that have adorned Vilest Thug Loop. Speaking of which, over the coming weeks, all of the tracks will be streaming on VTL.
