Alongside the recent cassette edition, copies of the original CD edition of 'Shropshire & Mid Wales' have been filtering through over the past few weeks. This pair are off down south, though with the weather the way it's been, you'd have to wonder why.

Good afternoon, hope you had a good weekend. From Friday to Sunday we were deep in the Shropshire hill country surrounded by good people from all walks of life, including many I had grown up around or otherwise not seen for years. A beautiful reminder of the depth of generosity and goodwill in these border lands. Thank you most of all to Innerkey for inviting me.

On my return I was alerted to the fact that Lucy Allan had included an except from the recent Shropshire Number Stations cassette released through our friends Death Is Not The End on her Friday show on BBC Radio 3. Thanks very much of course to Jennifer, as well as Luke from the label, you can find it around 15 minutes into the transmission.

There are whisperings of further Shropshire Number Stations activity on the airwaves at the moment, though we can neither confirm nor deny these rumours.

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents the fruits of our latest improvised collaboration session.

Cracking interview for Shropshire Number Stations from the Normans Norman Records.

"A project as unsettling as it is fascinating — a lo-fi portrait of invisible systems operating beneath the surface of everyday life."

A cracking little review from Boomkat.com for Eric's recent Shropshire Number Stations tape release on our friends Death Is Not The End.

Eric Loveland Heath scans the (short)waves for covert messages on this 'The Conet Project'-inspired collection of phantom noises, undeciphered codewords, musical snippets and morse code patterns. Back in the day, perhaps bolstered by Wilco using it so heavily on 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' (the title its...

Good afternoon, with Solstice comes hand cut thank you slips. The keen eyed amongst you may have noticed we often keep these themed to our releases, and these are no different, featuring the 'leaf sun' motif which appears in the artwork of the EP.

Also a quick reminder that Wildly's 'Solstice' launches this Saturday, fittingly on our longest day, when we'll be in a field somewhere in Mid Wales next to an old Workhouse no doubt trying to find any form of shade.
