we were only happy when we were shopping

by elizabeth veldon

supported by

albinobone we were only happy when we were shopping: biting sarcasm. also true. i get a hit of glee whenever I place an order an on amazon, proving elizabeth veldon's point.

the stillness in this music is simultaneously a glaring juxtaposition to the unbridled ejaculation of consumerist endeavour - and perhaps an antidote. Favorite track: more shopping.

about

this album, concerning the horror of a relationship dead from the purse upwards, was written before i had to dash to see my father when he took ill.

this added a new layer to the existential horror and led to the writing of a third and final track

life is too short to be lived without meaning

the cover image was taken on my mobile phone as i waited for a lift outside airdrie train station on a cold and rainy night when i went to visit my father
