(I) RELEASE THE BATS (Flying Nun)

I am very proud, honoured and just a little humbled to announce yesboyicecream's release of the new (and utterly brilliant) album by New Zealand's finest independent popular beat combo, The Bats...The Guilty Office will be available in all self-respecting record shops around our most European of continents from June 1st...do support your local shops.

If you simply cannot wait that long, you can pick up a copy directly from the band on their European Tour, who will be happy to sell it to you with good grace, charm and a secret handshake for a reasonable price. Tour dates are available from the yesboyicecream site.

Just to whet your appetite, here is some random footage not related to The Bats put together to not really accompany the rather brilliant closing song, The Orchard, on their rather brilliant new album, The Guilty Office.



Like Water in Your Hands (via SoundCloud)
A beautiful, beautiful track from the *new* Bats album - The Guilty Office, available from www.yesboyicecream.com -"the Bats nail the symphonic/lo-fi use melodic mix succinctly, showing the Guilty Office to be this year's alternative pop album" (Artrocker).



Pick up a copy of the album for the recession-proof sum of €10 (including postage & packaging) directly from the yesboyicecream shop.

Finally, here's a really cool article about Flying Nun from the Guardian....

That wasn't a dig, but an offer.
