Red, Blue and Green - the 3 EPs - all released to critical acclaim, were mixed and co-produced by Tom Andrews (alongside Hayes). Recent single Combo was recently added to the playlist at BBC 6Music after extensive support at the station. Laundromat is currently writing his debut album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the new collection, Laundromat says \"These nine tracks were written (really slowly) over a number of years, and although they’ve been out a while now, it's massively cathartic to release them as this 3 EP collection. Mainly because despite the fact that this isn’t an ‘album’ release, it was certainly written as one. So to finally deliver these tunes in the order that they were meant to be listened to feels real good I have to admit. ‘En Bloc’ - 3 EP Collection also includes a number of segue pieces that link the songs together - the idea being that this slice of work would be released as two continuous chunks of sound, i.e - side 1 and side 2. A nice big feast for the ears.\" Inspired by a broad range of influences including Kim Deal, Broadcast, Jaki Liebezeit, Jason Albertini, Madlib and Gonjasufi, Hayes also cites film as a huge source of intrigue: \"I find a lot of inspiration in film - Repo Man (1984), Deep End (1970), Punch-drunk Love (2002), and Alice in the Cities (1974) in particular.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyrically, the project explores the end of the world, binge drinking, social anhedonia, nostalgia, as well as the time Hayes got ‘catfished’ - for nearly 7 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDinked Edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClear and white splatter vinyl *\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate sleeve *\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBonus 7” *\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumbered Edition of 500 *\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* Dinked Edition EXCLUSIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Dinked LP","offer_id":64322893611385,"sku":null,"price":10.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/Albumartwork_b461a0b0-e261-4cce-8d08-a46049a81b8a.jpg?v=1787903818","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/laundromat-en-bloc-3-ep-collection","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
