Alternative (Post-Punk)
This EP by the Teesside post punk band Tick Tick was recorded at Guardian Studios in County Durham in June 1980, "My Swelling Heart" was intended to be released as a follow up to the band's 12" EP "The Immortalisation of Tick Tick" by the expanded, more dynamic version of the band, but never got out of the can. Remastered from the original recordings "My Swelling Heart" reveals a band confidently pushing into new areas - including elements of funk, dub and world music, with startling philosophical lyrics and all underpinned by a beautifully recorded new rhythm section. 3" limited, numbered edition of 40 hand-stamped CDRs in a case with wrap-around cover, and containing two photographs by Gavin Parry and an extract from a text by Gary Widdowfield.
