Alcopop dig about in the archives – Encyclopedia video!

It was an emotional night last eve, as during another drink-fuelled, Huw Stephens-tastic meeting, we’ve gone digital for the first time (getting the majority of our releases on iTunes/Tunetribe etc.) and, in perhaps the busiest period during inception, looking back to the heady days of September 2006. Indeed, when all fresh-faced and naive – we scrabbled together our first club night (featuring personal heros Midget), and put together the first in our lovely singles club – ‘Emily’ by Encyclopedia – a pop classic that still sounds as fresh as it did all those months ago.. Since then, DSP, 4 or 5 Magicians, goFASTER>> and so many others have given us the great pleasure of releasing with us, and now with The Family Machine, Hush the Many (Heed the Few) and another awesome act soon to be announced… We’re still bloody loving it (and i hope you are too).

But enough with the sentimentalist stuff I hear you cry… What is the point of this short nostalgic trip back through the Alcopop ages?

Well, myself and Kev have been scouring the hard drive, and found this beauty – a stop animation lo-fi video that Kev created nearly two years ago now for the first few seconds of debut Alcopop single by Encyclopedia – check it out, and know that the budget was slim ! You’ll notice that we never got pictures of the handsome Emily, and so a slightly less pretty understudy has been picked… I do look pretty on the underground mind.

Oh, and if you want the full Encyclopedia single – the tracks are now available to buy seperately on iTunes, or the full CD £3 from the shop:
