Do you like having a good time? Well, you need a good watch.

Here's the latest release from Insect Guide, and it's another sure-fire winner. 4 tracks of beautifully nocturnal sonic brilliance, all wrapped up in the most gorgeous packaging we've ever had the pleasure to hold in our paws.

"Listen to them, children of the night, what music they make"...

Just two months after the release of their Dark Days & Nights album, Insect Guide return with a brand new EP, the 5 O'Clock Recordings. Written and recorded mostly in dusk-to-dawn post-gig sessions, the new tracks showcase Insect Guide's darkly atmospheric songwriting in a skeletal, mostly acoustic form, stripping back the densely layered sonics of previous releases.

The 5 O'Clock Recordings is a 4 track ghost story of isolation in true Dickensian English fashion. Haunted and hauntingly beautiful, 5 O'Clock Recordings is released digitally at 5am on Monday December 20th FREE on Eardrumspop Records. A limited edition CD with special tin packaging will also be released on Dead Penny Records.

For one release only, we are charging a small shipping fee (which is the same price for anywhere in the world) just to cover our costs for this lovely looking CD EP release. When you order, the shipping will be automatically added to the total.

All this for just £6.50 including postage... you know what you want to do.

This release also includes 2 exclusive accompanying tracks—the wonderful... [more]

The ever brilliant Dead Penny Records brings you the latest CD single from The Insect Guide. Just ahead of their forthcoming 2nd album, here's another absolutely killer track taken from it, albeit in a slightly different mix. Wasted has "single" written all over it, and is definitely one of the most foot stompingly floor filling tracks performed at Insect Guide gigs. Three and a half minute... [more]
