The album features the 12 tracks released as part of the Club Fandango Singles Club to celebrate 12 years of Club Fandango + Bonus tracks from 10 bands!

THE MACHINE ROOM then: not the clanking heart of a factory but five mildly electro-fied dreamers from Edinburgh who consist of Adie Emanuel, Cecilia Stamp, John Bryden, Ryan Marinello and Scott Hitchings and who exist in their own swirling world of heavyweight rhythms and featherweight melodies. In 2012 they released the ‘Love From A Distance’ EP, which saw the quintet correctly described as “enthralling” and “epic-sounding”, the track 'Camino De Soda' taken from the EP is featured as a bonus track on 21x12. Continuing the E-treat theme the follow-up is ‘Sweden’, which was released as a digital download on Label Fandango on May 13th, the second release in the 12x12 single club series and is both casually ecstatic and cannily euphoric.

The band have followed up the success of 'Sweden' by releasing the 'Sweden EP' in March, the EP features 3 new tracks and you can get your hands on it HERE via iTunes

4. THE HOSTS 'Give Your Love To Her' (July 22 2013) Sheffield retromantics provide a love song with a twist, a bittersweet sentiment and a huge chorus. The Hosts' 'Softly, Softly' album came out on February 10th and 'Give Your Love To Her' is re-released on May 5th.
5. DESPERATE JOURNALIST 'Organ' (November 11 2013) Great big gothic punkpop palavers from two boy / two girl combo suffused with achingly deadpan panda-eyed glamour. Follow up single 'Happening' is out on May 5th.
