• Perpetual Skip (book and patch)

  • 
  • 
  A book of words pulled from the wreckage and orphaned from the noise of the next record out 2021.
  The books available here are the limited edition versions that come with an iron-on embroided patch.
  
  Published by Makina Books. These are their words:
  
  "..Their first record, NO HOME was icy, sharp, brutal ​and forward-thinking. This one, perhaps situated in a strange borough is different. I read the words in Perpetual Skip (the seventh pamphlet in the New Words series) in one sitting​​ before working with Kevin on the arrangement. ​The words are drawn from an record forthcoming in early 2021 on OUTER REACHES and like ​everything else we've done I think this book steps across borders. It's not easy to categorise Perpetual Skip as a pamphlet, bookwork, booklet or project. It is​, however​, the first 'lyrical' ​Makina Book​ ​– an idea that excites me​ not least because w​hen I was younger I used to devour the booklets in compact discs and scour them for any information or clues as to the origin of the work. Middex makes a world and I've needed places like this to ​retreat​ to ​during ​this ​​weird year.​ Frontwards Design did the business with the design brief too - I've loved collaborating with them this year on everything we've done. Somehow this feels like the right book to end this year on. Middex orders come with an embroidered skip patch whilst stocks last! Shop indie and help us out with our programme next year." ... more
