Here we go, another uber limited blink and you miss it release
from the stealthy Cotton Goods. This time James Stephen Finn
gives us a lovely dusty old workout of sparse samples and
loops.
Released through Craig Tattersall's Cotton Goods label, this
CD release will be available to purchase from Boomkat on May
21st. This release is limited to only 100 copies and comes in
beautiful, hand-made packaging, consisting of sleeves made
from old hardback book covers. Each copy is unique.

Check out http://www.jamesfinn.co.uk/ for a track that was
conceived during the time of this album but didnt make it for
the final release.

*LIMITED TO 100 INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED AND HAND-PACKAGED COPIES
FOR THE WORLD - WE HAVE 85 ONLY SO HURRY TO AVOID
DISAPPOINTMENT* Another bijou bundle of utter loveliness from
Cotton Goods, once again packaged up in modified old and
discarded library books and guaranteed to sell out in a
heartbeat. The music of James Stephen Finn seems to have been
tailor-made to fit the label aesthetic; all frayed samples,
static, found sounds and looped instruments that seem almost
out of sorts, never quite joining up where they should in that
beautifully ramshackle way this label carries itself. From
dusty old Piano fragments reminiscent of Denzel & Huhn's much
overlooked debut EP 'Filet', to delicate micro-samples, bells
and tones delivered with an almost childlike demeanour - it's
a gorgeous debut that will sadly only ever be discovered by
the very few of you lucky enough to snap one up. Good luck!
