Put August 20th in your diary as the day you get this next release from Random...

Musician Ben Ellison and poet Gav Roberts have made this 8 track psychedelic adventure to make you think about pretty much everything there is to think about, from putting the bins out to the origins of the universe. We're very proud of this one. We reckon it's the true embodiment of what VMR and all our other artists all about. Interesting music for interesting people.

We also had the artwork done by illustrator Cate James who also did the artwork for House of Amber's 'Under Pale Stars' album which we released last year.

​

Also as if this couldn't get any better, both Random... and VMR will be donating all the proceeds from this record to charity. The band are busy working on choosing a charity to donate to but it will involve helping people with mental health problems, so every album you buy or every time you stream 'Long Ago When Tigers Smoked Pipes' you'll be donating to charity!

Today we're telling you all about Random...

This project is a collaboration between poet Gav and musician Ben. They will be releasing their album 'Long Ago When Tigers Smoked Pipes' through VMR in the very near future.

Their name says it all and here's what they've got to say for themselves in their own words;

​

"Random… met rather, well, randomly and they clashed heads from their two very different fields of creativity almost instantly. Having a mutual respect for each other’s work, Ben appreciating Gav’s poetic ramblings and Gav in turn enjoying the unique sounds that Ben creates.

They are very much 50/50 doing their own thing and not interfering in others work. Ben doesn’t like writing words and Gav can turn any musical instrument into something with the musical quality of your average Ikea table.

Indeed, the vast majority of what Gav records are poems that would otherwise grow old in notebooks, never to be opened, so he is overjoyed that Ben wraps them up in music.

 Both of them are neither precious nor pretentious about their work, both believing that creativity is an entirely selfish process that a human must go through in order to ease the mental passage through this mortal coil.

 “Long ago when tigers smoked pipes” is the Korean equivalent of “Once upon a time” and that is what Random… have created, a story, a journey through their lives."

​

Hopefully with this release we're definitely staying very true to our motto of interesting music for interesting people with this working class psychedelic experience!

​
