This weeks single is the mango-manamous synth infused future hit "Mango Season" from Peter Cat. A subtle celebration of inclusion, multiculturalism and the best fruit on the planet: Mangoes. Go stream it! . Album coming in November! (spoiler, the album goes to some weird places, not many like this one!)

Test Pressings sound lush! Have you pre-ordered and supported JT's campaign yet?! Head over to our website to do so!

Planet Heaven pressings are tested and certified. Happy to confirm it sounds like Planet Heaven 🌌

The album pre-order campaign is underway - please visit Trapped Animal Records' website (link in bio/below) to order a vinyl, cd, lyric book, or other related stuff. Trapped Animal is a small independent label who I am grateful to for continuing to take a punt on my outlandish music. Pre-orders help them, and in turn artists like myself, to keep on releasing independent music. Thank you very very much to those who have done already - I'm really looking forward to sharing this collection of songs with you 💚

FDR001 is here! Welcome to Ferocious Doge Records, our first sublabel! Today we drop Beginning to End by OPAQUE. We have set up Ferocious Doge to help us broaden our horizons, help more artists, do more releases without the additional outreach hindering our work at Trapped Animal. Today we present a unique proposition, a gatefold vinyl that opens up to present the buyer with a board game of life inside the fold! Congrats to Moony, Benny and the band for making such an ambitious project alive!

Jeremy Tuplin’s new album ‘Planet Heaven’ arrives mid-October; watch the video for his latest single ‘Pigeon Song’, featuring a Dominic Silvani cameo.

10/06/2025

‘Pigeon Song’, by out on today, is the first official single from the upcoming Jeremy Tuplin album Planet Heaven, which is set for release in mid-October on Trapped Animal Records. On the surface a classic three and a half minute jangly indie-pop song, its lyrics ridicule hatred and divisive rhetoric, whilst celebrating love and nature. Of the song Tuplin says: “it was an impulse to tie together various negative ideas infiltrating the world’s collective awareness, and dispel them with something pure and beautiful.” It features ( ) on backing vocals on lead guitar, and Miles Hobbs on bass!

Human Made Art. https://trappedanimal.com/products/jeremy-tuplin-planet-heaven

There are a lot of unsettling AI related stories around the creative industries out there at the moment. Major labels in talks with AI song makers (where will that leave independent artists who don't get a kick back?), friends in the film business posting about studio layoffs in the US, bad AI images and videos all over Instagram/TikTok reels... What we think is this: If you care about real human made music, look to the humans, follow indie labels and artists and quality content makers, buy books from new authors, buy art from young painters, go to gigs, go to art galleries, listen to humans talk on podcasts... AND think about what the price of 3 Coffee's can do for a band who spent 6 months making an album and are asking for a tenner to own it.... install Bandcamp on your phone and use it for music discovery instead of Spotify radio (they gonna feed you AI music before we know it). Find projects to support. Don't despair...art is not dead! Noice waaaan! Joel and TA (gif via Jeremy Tuplin)
