*Features Koko the furby
------------------------------------------Press Release-------------------------------------------------------
Front & Follow and the Gated Canal Community present YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE - alternative soundtracks to a luxury apartments advert, featuring 31 artists including Field Lines Cartographer, Elizabeth Joan Kelly, Her Majesty’s Coroner for Wirral, The Leaf Library, Polypores, Hattie Cooke and many more.
Why? We aren’t sure, but it all started with this video and went from there - bit.ly/deansgatelife.
This project is not affiliated with Deansgate Square in any way - the video was our inspiration for this project, and for each artist’s soundtrack.
All sales from this release will go to Coffee4Craig, which provides vital support for Manchester’s homeless and people in crisis. Find out more here - coffee4craig.com.
“Sharply dressed sales assistants and eagle-headed PPI enthusiasts march over freshly risen piazzas. Oxbow lakes of cement dissolve into dreamy quadrants. A Yo Sushi was there.
Now it isn’t.
This is where the gold is. The real gold, tucked under the receding gum-lines of once cobbled streets, stuffed into the rain-tinted domes hidden in plain view. Ignore the fringe of green that laps forever onto the city’s shores. Forget the municipal spaces, their fleshy tales creeping from beneath roller shutters and seeping from the cracks in boarded windows.
And as you stride about with vertical chin, you feel a prickle inside of something sharp but unfamiliar. Like a snagged cricket jumper you begin to unravel, spooling out behind yourself as you walk ever onwards.
Find them in the Imitation Rothko Gymnasium.
Smashing it in the Imitation Rothko Gymnasium.”
Mastered by Anthony Morrow at Herhalen - herhalen.bandcamp.com
Words by Spenser Tomson.
Front & Follow explored the outer reaches of modern music with the sole, perhaps overly ambitious, aim of offering you something a little different. Front & Follow was a project of the Watson Marriage Experiment, but is currently in hibernation. Don’t tell anyone.
Gated Canal Community was dreamt up in the pub by Spenser, Justin and Becca. The name came first, and then we built stuff around it. It is how all good things are created. We play records on the radio, we write about them, and we write about other things.

That doubly creeped me out, those towers completely dominate the view from my living room window!

[@chrisbullock613]

Wow that's quite a coincidence 😮

[@Jaws19show]

This is one of my favourite pieces of your work. So good 👏👏👏

[@rodentoftheastrowaste1414]

A bit of a James G. Ballard vibe on this one. Great stuff.

[@chrisbullock613]

Oh totally I'm glad you think so 😊

Took me a bit to realise what was going on.
This is so messed up...
I love it.
