Hand painted or hand patched quality cotton t-shirts, long sleeved or short, made to order.

A bleeping, squelching treatise on self-help and hopelessness from Pagan Wanderer Lu, backed with the bangin' live favourite "Even The Cacti", and remixes by Napoleon IIIrd and DREAMTRAK. A digital single from European Monsoon.

Bastardgeist is Chicago's Joel Midden, a solo artist working with orchestral samples, live playing, loops, processed sound and vocals. This stunning self-titled LP is the culmination of years of work, and is Midden's first release for Brainlove Records.

Cardiff's Pagan Wanderer Lu presents a new album that's indisputably his best yet. After a period of intense writing, PWL has emerged from his studio with a collection of skewed pop jewels that will cement his status as a truly original songwriter.

The third single from the singular talent that is Stairs To Korea, aka William Vaughan. After a startling rise from the morass of new bands on the London live circuit, Stairs To Korea has already become a burgeoning cult star, and this newest single can only propel him further into the public consciousness.

The second single taken from Mat Riviere's amazing debut album, "Follow Your Heart", backed with a brand new b-side and some excellent remixes by Bleeding Heart Narrative, Monroe Transfer and Levyashin.

Brainlove's own Stairs To Korea (aka William Vaughan) releases his second single on Monday January 11th, 2010. It's a soaring, impassioned indie-pop anthem called "All Of Your Friends". Smart, too: Sweeping The Nation describe it as "a fiercely intelligent chronicle of the human condition".

Norwich solo artist Mat Riviere's debut album Follow Your Heart is out on Brainlove Records in October 2009. Minimal, rhythmic backing and intriguing lyrics sung in Mat's plaintive voice make this a compelling & memorable collection.

To round off a brilliant 2009, this is the final single to be taken from Pagan Wanderer Lu's magnum opus, "Fight My Battles For Me". A subtle, moving folk song about death and judgement, it is backed with two b-sides, two live sessions and a remix by Internet Forever.

Fresh from two stunning sets at Iceland's Airwaves Festival, Brainlove is proud to announce the release of Mat Riviere's debut single on December 7th 2009. The track, entitled FYH, is a time-stretched earworm that announces an exciting new UK artist.
