The lead track, ‘Teeth \u0026amp; Eyes’, is a new song; a pox-marked beauty. The other five are revisited versions of lo-fi original oldies, twisted and adapted to the new sound and line-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to 300 copies on vinyl (also on CD, with bonus live tracks, and DL).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_x_elementToProof\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLine Up:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArfur Allen - Vocals, Guitar\u003cbr\u003eOli Allen - Guitars, Backing Vocals\u003cbr\u003eBrendan Esmonde - Bass, Backing Vocals\u003cbr\u003eRichard Moore - Violin, Backing Vocals\u003cbr\u003eChris Grenfell - Drums, Percussion\u003cbr\u003eRob Shepherd - Banjo, Mandolin, Accordion, Backing Vocals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded, mixed and mastered by Jim Riley at Ranscombe Studios, Rochester.\u003cbr\u003ePublished by Vacilando ‘68.\u003cbr\u003eArtwork by Chris Grenfell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NR_z2z-qiX0?si=cCn07CqNt4B6fN3R\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Spinout Nuggets","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":55616238158166,"sku":"SN164","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":55616238190934,"sku":"SN164CD","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP\/CD","offer_id":55616238223702,"sku":"SN164LP\/CD","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/3552\/8278\/files\/SN164_Front.jpg?v=1791271871","url":"https:\/\/www.spinoutnuggets.com\/products\/the-pastel-waves-selenophile-echo-lp-cd-pre-order-copy","provider":"Spinout Nuggets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
