It's here!
Following a most-triumphant launch show on Saturday night at Glasgow's Kinning Park Complex (see Matthew McAndrew's excellent photo gallery for Line of Best Fit), Randolph's Leap's "witty" (The Quietus), "gorgeous" (The List), "beauty" (The Skinny) of a new album Clumsy Knot - album of the week in yesterday's Scotland on Sunday - is released today. If you're yet to treat your ears to a listen, stop what you're doing right now and head over to Folk Radio UK, where it's streaming exclusively for a limited time only.
Clumsy Knot is available in three formats:
* as a 12" vinyl, packaged with a CD copy and limited edition fanzine (while stocks last)
* as a stand-alone CD, with limited edition fanzine
