Accidental Records

Micachu's debut for Accidental, 'Golden Phone' is out on iTunes and every other good digital platform today!

Praised as "a slice of first rate, lo fi oddball pop, combining avant-garde instrumentation with creepily infectious melodies" by The Fly, and as "a zingy, lo-fi gem full of cuddly harmonies and foreign pings and pongs" by Time Out, it has become an anthem on London's dancefloors as of late.

Check it out for yourself on iTunes or pre-order a copy on 7" from HMV

And catch Micachu & the Shapes on a number of UK dates this Summer and Autumn-details on the dates page..

The lovely Karen P and the good folks at Broad Casting have invited us along to help throw a party with them on August 21st. It'll be held at Cargo in east London and we'll have sets from our very own Finn Peters, Micachu & The Shapes and The Invisible. Say you'll come, do...

You can buy tickets here

Finn Peters debut album for Accidental, Butterflies, is out now! Having been widely hailed as a classic in the jazz and general music press (making Time Out's critics' choice three weeks ina row), Finn is touring the record around the UK and Europe. You can buy it here.

Matthew Herbert's recent requests for samples from The Queen and Gordon Brown have unfortunately not been met.... details below.

We're extremely proud and happy to draw your attention to the wunderkinds that we and Matthew Herbert have been working with:

The Invisible

Micachu

Just a brief note for now to introduce you to their musical output, news very shortly of their first releases early in the New Year..

Our very own intrepid Jazz-Food-Funk-Wonk Explorers hit these fine shores from next week, and want to deliver their illustrious sounds straight to you! Details in the gigs section...

More news here and here

Some forward-thinking soul has started up a facebook group in Herbert's honour (not us, that would be a little too obvious), but we are going to post extra bits there and the occasional request for volunteers up there..
So if you're socially and technologically inclined, and are making the most of your workplace's internet, click here and join up:

Herbert is busy at work on a new record, and needs YOUR help. He's looking for 100 volunteers, each of whom will sing one word presented to them by us, which will be stitched and sewn into the fabric of a new song which will feature on the new album next year?

You don't have to be a professional, in fact the more varied the better!
If that sounds interesting, please email info@accidentalrecords.com with "I'LL SING FOR MY DINNER" in the subject line, and we'll do the rest..

Your Accidental Family xx
