Singles Club
Subscription
An annual subscription - providing you with 12 special releases - will set you back the measly sum of £30. Postage and packaging is free inside the UK and just an additional £5 for our international friends. You can sign up to the club in our shop, payments via PayPal.
Introduction
Home to such captivating artists as Electrelane, Scout Niblett, Stereolab and Future Of The Left, too pure announces its first ever monthly subscription service in honour of that most coveted and enduring artefact of the recording age: the 7" singlet. The singles club will allow us to introduce personal favourites, friends of too pure and rising talent.
Launched in September 2007, each single - containing two exclusive unreleased songs - are numbered and strictly limited to 500 copies worldwide and available through subscription, with a very small number distributed to select indies. The nice people over at iTunes have also made the singles available to download for their usual nominal fee.

Artists
January: Anni Rossi
A self-proclaimed "classical kid gone viola pop wunderkind", the multi-instrumentalist - hailing from Minnesota via Chicago and LA - stamps her feet, clicks her tongue and lures her audience into quiet, open-mouthed submission.
December: It Hugs Back
Matthew, Paul, Dimitri and Jack began making their soft-centered dream pop back in early 2006. Switching between joyous pop-punk delight and delicate melancholia in a heartbeat, It Hugs Back melt layers of fuzzy vocals into their reassuring blend of endearing shoegaze and heart-on-sleeves vulnerability.
November: Vera November
Vera November is the new musical project of Verity Susman from Electrelane. She is currently writing and recording music for her too pure singles club release.
October: LoneLady
Recording on a 4-track deep within a Manchester tower block, LoneLady relies on aggression, space and that which agogs. Essential drums drive under the Telecaster post-punk guitar, a bittersweet clash with her merciless vocal edge.
Upcoming
February: Ray Rumours / Frànçois
Ray Rumours - aka Ros Murray of Electrelane fame - records her shimmering folk hidden away in the safety of her bedfroom. Her songs melt in the mouth and stay in the mind.
French-born Frànçois arrived in the UK back in 2003, armed with an eager sense of adventure and a keen taste for pop thrills. The multi-talented instrumentalist come singer come artist now heads up the Bristol DIY scene.

March: The Octopus Project
The Octopus Project are an Austin-based quartet of noise-rock musicians infected with a twinge of laptop-pop hysteria and an intimate love of the theremin. Following the incredible reception to their recent album 'Hello Avalanche' and months of solid touring, this will be their first release outside of North America.
