I just found 15 cds of 'Operation Fascination'. These were used for the promo campaign in 2010 but knowing this was the only chance I was going to have to press a physical product, I went for a full-scale production. It's a lovely thing to behold. The cover art by Pippa Ashton incorporating Gemma Cossins' photo. The liner notes list a Myspace page, ha! Comes with a digital copy of the album. I will sign it if you want. Ships media mail in the U.S.
Includes unlimited streaming of Operation: Fascination
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about
Another very early song, released as a single on Dogbox Records in 2006. Titles comes from Chapter 8 of Ian Fleming’s 'Casino Royale'. I fondly recall writing the lyrics to this one sqwiffy Sunday afternoon in a comfortable armchair with a Guinness in hand at The Pineapple in Kentish Town.
lyrics
Your eyes meet mine, from above your cigarette
And the mirror shows, they ain’t off me yet
Hear the waves crash against the shore, we’ll take a walk from the casino floor
And in your smile there’s something more
So don’t hide it
Baby I think it’s time, so just slip your hand in mine
O stay awhile, the glasses are filled with pink lights and champagne
O by my side, O now you’re mine (all mine)
Our lips touch lightly as the darkness falls, and the night leaves us all alone
It’s so nice here under the stars, on our own
Feel the waves crash against the shore, but I can’t hear them anymore
And there’s that smile again from before
Don’t hide it
Time spins so fast, then it all seems to disappear yeah-eah
O stay awhile, your eyes are filled with pink lights and champagne
O stay all night, O hold me tight and do that again (and again)
O stay all night, our eyes shinin’ with pink lights and champagne
O by my side, stay with me til the pink skies of morning
O stay awhile, the night sky sparkles with pink lights and champagne
O stay all night, O hold me tight, and do that again
Aug's project with David Shah (Luxembourg, The Melting Ice Caps). I loved making this record and some of my best work (writing and playing) is on here. H Bird
