Please note :

If you're a subscriber to Second Language, we've already mailed out your copy of Vertical Integration.  If it's not yet arrived, be patient - the postal service is erratic at best. 

If you're not a subscriber, be quick!  Vertical Integration comes as a strictly limited edition of 400 copies. It will not be re-pressed once these copies have been sold.

This release will be exclusively available from our website, alongside Norman Records mail order and Rough Trade shops - though only copies bought directly from the Second Language website will include an exclusive Second Language button badge : http://www.secondlanguagemusic.com/

And yes, we have skipped a catalogue number.  SL05 is still in production but will be out just as soon as we can pull it all together. 

BRAND NEW WEBSITE

Thanks to our wonderful tech/design genius, Ian Mackinnon, we have a lovely new Second Language website.  It's easier on the eye, a doddle to navigate and well, we're really proud of it!  Have a gander : http://www.secondlanguagemusic.com/

MUSIC & MIGRATION ON TOUR

Martin Holm of Second Language/The Home Current will be making a DJ appearance at the Falsterbo Bird Show in Sweden this September alongside a live set from Music & Migration contributor, Ant.  The bird show runs from 3 - 5 Sept but the M&M bit will be on the 4th.

ANDY WEATHERALL ON GHOSTWRITER

Iconic DJ, Andy Weatherall included Ghostwriter's 'Like Brandy On A Cold Night' on his recent 6 Music radio mix, declaring it, "..a lovely album....much more valuable than any download...."  

You can listen to his show here - though be quick! - it'll only be up there for another 3 or 4 days : http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tc4tc

We have only a handful of copies left of Ghostwriter's 'The Continuing Adventures Of The Strange Sound Association.'  You can buy it directly from us here :
