#05 House that Jack Built - A Study of Reading Habits

The Fifth (blimey!) Used Vinyl Club release and a 10 track album at that. This will be available to download for FREE (from here: http://rekordmeistermusic.bandcamp.com/album/05-a-study-of-reading-habits) from Friday 1st of June. Also, that night will be the fifth Used Vinyl Club show featuring House that Jack Built & Down & Outs.

A few words from Mark Donovan of House that Jack Built:


A study of reading habits is a collection of songs, or rather a collection of thoughts written over the past couple of years. It’s not exactly autobiographical but the opinions, feelings and circumstances in these songs are all about who I am at this very moment. The books I love, the films I never get round to watching and the music I hate! It’s sometimes self assured and sometimes a bit scatty and uncertain but all written safe in the knowledge that me, Andy, Paul and Aaron will look back in 15 years confident in how much we’ve changed much like we look back smugly at how different we are from 15 years ago. This right now the ‘inch thick specs’ stage as Larkin wrote.
House that Jack Built has been a great way for best mates to play gigs and make friends with loads of brilliant bands and even more brilliant people, packing the gear away after shows and drinking the rest of the night away. ‘Get stewed’ is always the inevitable conclusion.
