If you go down to the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise.*

And, if you go down to the iTunes store today, you’ll find Cabin Fever and Sullied Behave for the Moon have been re-released by 17 Seconds Records!

To celebrate the release, we’ve created a very limited edition screen-printed version of the artwork….

Sold out!

This will be the last in the series of the Loosely Based on Fiction physical products.

^{* Escape Act takes no responsibility for any surprises you might find in the woods today.}

For a mere £2.37 you can get God Says, plus two exclusive and rather excellent remixes by Exmagician and Uber Glitterati (check the 17 Seconds blog for a preview of the Uber Glitterati mix).

Hey folks,

We’re rather excited and more than a little chuffed that our friends at 17 Seconds in Edinburgh have offered to re-release God Says on their new label! We’ve been friends with Ed and 17 Seconds since he first reviewed God Says last summer and subsequently released Broken Chin during the Loosely Based On Fiction release period, so we’re really pleased that we can work together again.

Stay tuned for more details!

Here are some pictures of the limited edition booklets we are producing to go along with the Loosely Based On Fiction physical release, and available exclusively through our own online shop. We’ve asked our screen-printing friend Norman to print up some cardboard sleeves, using one of Alan’s design. They have our familiar arrow in black, with a cool blue overprint.

The sleeves will contain the four leaves of the ‘booklet’ that we’ll hand number before they go in the post. These leaves feature notes from the album recording sessions and more of Alan’s artwork on the reverse.

Alan has also created a PDF version which contains lyrics for each of the songs on the album. This PDF will be available to anyone who buys the album from the site.

Lots of things are happening at the moment as we near the point of releasing the CDs. You’ll notice that the escapeact.com site has had a minor facelift for a start!

Earlier this week Ed over at 17 Seconds kindly released the last of our tracks – Broken Chin, head on over to read his thoughts on the album…

“Rather like the Strokes, here is a band who have realised that less is definitely more. Pure punky joy.”

Yay! We’re one step closer to the album release now that we’ve received our albums back from the factory! These lovely ‘digipak’ covers really look the part! We’re working on the limited edition liner booklets at the minute – these will only be available from us here on the site and at gigs, then we’ll be ready to let loose! some pics…

We’re getting near the end of our little blog release journey, but there are still a few tracks left, including a personal favourite of mine – ‘Everyone Got Shot’. It has kindly been released by Paul, aka, The Devil Has The Best Tuna, click below to check it out!

http://besttuna.blogspot.com/2008/11/houdini-would-be-proud.html

“They effortlessly straddle the jangling, punkish new wave of The Undertones and Stiff Little Fingers (’God Says’, ‘Laid Open’ and ‘Jupiter Storms’) and the more melodic harmonies Irish Americana (Irishcana?) of The Thrills (’Broken Chin’ and ‘Sullied Behave For The Moon’). “

I think you’ll agree that it’s been a momentous day for us all. Yes, a few hours ago it was announced by Niall Byrne of State Magazine that our sixth track ‘Corpses Candle’ has been released on their MP3 blog.

“‘Corpses Candle’ … reminds us of the indie majesty of Whipping Boy’s Heartworm”

Click here to read Niall’s thoughts and get the track

Thanks also to Nick for his continuing support and encouragement.
