twenty five 77minute long songs

yep - in preparation for tomorrow's Bandcamp zero fees day here are links to all 25 of the seven at 77 releases - each one is 77 minutes long, and each one raises vital money for Médecins Sans Frontières | Doctors Without Borders‎

Seven at 77 - the Great Electric release day

totay's 77 minutes come from The Great Electric... it's available on:

poster, with download code

seven at 77 - preorder The Great Electric

Inspired by a creepy internet legend (see below), the band's usual approach - tracks are sculpted, overdubbed and from collective improvisation - was abandoned.


The members retreated inward, working solo, on instruments unfamiliar to them, using outdated analogue technology. Assembled by the band's 'editor' Pete, the anonymous tracks were placed randomly together, chance creating a hazy, shifting collage that can turns on a dime (much like the legend that inspired it).


RIYL Faust Tapes, side 1 of "Millions Now Living Will Never Die", Sentridoh, Soul Junk, etc.

seven at 77 available to pre order

OK - so you already know seven amazing bands are releasing seven 77 minute long songs this summer


Papernut Cambridge
Jack Hayter 
The Great Electric
Joel Mellin 
The Leaf Library
World of Fox 
The Hardy Tree

now is your opportunity to order a complete set of the seven tracks on any of these formats:

CDs - a set of seven CDs, one for each 77 minute song, in beautiful handmade die-cut sleeves
Posters - a set of seven posters, one for each 77 minute song, designed by the likes of Pete Fowler, Frances Castle and Matt Ashton - more on those in the weeks to come
Downloads - all seven tracks - just under nine hours of amazing music

each of these come with immediate downloads of 77 second radio edits



in a month's time the individual tracks will be made available (for anyone who simply wants one or two of the tracks by their favourite acts) - there's a chance that the physical versions will have sold out by then (as part of the sets that are available today)

so if you absolutely must have the CDs or posters i'd recommend ordering the sets

and once again, the proceeds from seven at 77 go to Médecins Sans Frontières
