Pink Sea


LEIGHTON CRAIG - PINK SEA 7" lathe

Hi friends - out today my new lathe cut 7" Pink Sea. Recorded in 2018 on holiday at the beach, this is the companion release to my Wind Songs ep from a few years back.

More freewheeling Casio SK-1 jams, this time with mini-sax, thumb piano, kitchen percussion and a memorable performance from a butcher bird on the window ledge.

As with Wind Songs, this 7" record was lathe cut by Peter King in New Zealand with mastering by Antony Milton. Made in an edition of 40, with heavy folded card jacket and black inner sleeve.

The records (and digital) are available now for purchase from my Bandcamp page here and will ship no later than 19 June, including to locations outside Australia.  I trust you enjoy.
