Using crowd - funding, we were able to fund a limited pressing of 300 heavyweight picture-discs, with all our backers thanked in an insert which will be included with every copy of this edition.
Around 130 people backed the project - we can now offer the remaining copies through mail-order.
The artwork was designed by band member Penelope Collegefriend. It's 45 rpm, with two tracks on the first side and the third track on side B.
The 12" comes in a transparent PVC wallet, and will be posted to you in a high quality cardboard record mailer.

lyrics
Preternatural conquistador
Every bomb and bullets ancestor
Simultaneously host patron and prey
To the flight path of the Enola Gaye
Distances immunities vs. increased ranges poison
Signs of appeasement hidden by curving horizon
Malign projectile benches five murders per minute
Scrutiny reveals his reflection in it.
Winged; Proud; Effortless; Blue-eyed; Blond.
I’d have smothered him years ago if he was my son
Fear and defeat secrete a barbiturate
which Enola Gaye extracts.
Relax, sit back and sip it.
Preternatural conquistador.
Every bomb and bullets ancestor
Simultaneously host patron and prey
To the flight path of the Enola Gaye
Blasting off by northwest Pacific
Burn two hundred thousand civilian souls as fuel
Touchdown dance by northwest Atlantic
Fifty-seven year lesson in economic provocation
In 1800 I saw the atom bomb
And shaped myself in its likeness
I have called upon my demons
Called upon my demons;-
“Possess my body,
Cloud vision,
Mushroom path.”
Fear and defeat secrete a barbiturate
which Enola Gaye extracts.
Relax, sit back and sip it.
Preternatural conquistador.
Every bomb and bullets ancestor
Simultaneously host patron and prey
To the flight path of the Enola Gaye
Borne of friendliness and loyalty
Let the children live to witness me
This is what the pious fear when they pray
To the flight path of the Enola Gaye
Photo-fits face of each assailant
Beast and fowl harnessed as surveillance
Martial hymn; unresolving cadence
Preternatural conquistador.
Every bomb and bullets ancestor
Simultaneously host patron and prey
To the flight path of the Enola Gaye
Borne of friendliness and loyalty
Let the children live to witness me
This is what the pious fear when they pray
To the flight path of the Enola Gaye

In 2019, I was in Salisbury and attended the Alphabet Business Convention without knowing any artist. Lost Crowns was my favourite band that played there. Pablo P.

Craig Fortnam is well known for being the creative mastermind behind names like "Shrubbies", "North Sea Radio Orchestra", "Arch Garrison", and, well, "Craig Fortnam", of course. He's from the big family of musicians and composers revolving around the cult band "Cardiacs", all of which share some undeniable and hard-to-describe common quality in their songwriting. "Instrumental Music 1" is quite some unspecific title for the wide range of unique avantgarde tracks he has released only recently. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
The eclectic influences of this California group shine through on these creeping tracks, full of dark electronics and intimate vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 15, 2020
Gaelynn Lea won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest, and it's easy to see why. Haunting, beautiful country songs, laced up with weeping fiddle lines. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 3, 2016
