[Porco]

Everyone who pre-ordered getting an email on the same day sounds like mass communication has once again been achieved, in a way. Unless hardly anyone pre-ordered I guess. What is the lower limit for a mass?

Speaking of masses…



‘The records were founded on the principle that, uh, the primary role of release dates are to protect the chart position, from obscurity, uh, and so it remains…’

Hello it’s us again
Or well, it will be soon
And yes we mean it too
Yes we will be with you soon

Hello it’s us again
Production issues reared their heads
But have another song instead
Enjoy it over The Weeknd!

The pre-orders against shop-marauders
I’m tired of giving release dates
When it’ll take however long that it takes
We love the printers
They stick our records together

So can you hear us anymore
(JDB, Wire and Sean Moore)
It won’t be long before a tour
Delayed release twice, kind of poor
Hello and isn’t vinyl dear?
One’s red, one’s black and one is clear
Our press is unpolitical
Our crisps are ours to feed upon
