Crafty 893 'Sorry Mum'
OUT NOW crafty893.bandcamp.com/album/sorry-...
A gritty, high-impact track with grimy production & sharp, apologetically-unapologetic bars. Centred around the mantra βask for forgiveness, not permissionβ it's a raw reflection on the push-pull between ambition, loyalty & risk
Ahh, nice one, glad you're feeling it! π

My copy of the Possessed EP on vinyl featuring artwork based on a quija board. Tru Thoughts label boss was a bit unsure about releasing a record with a ouija board cover after an aunty told a story about her friend having a bad experience with one, and it had stayed with him since he was 8 years old. He may have had a point because it probably put a few reggae heads off buying it
I did the artwork myself, so that's a self portrait of me conjuring a haunted Boss PC2 percussion synth
Yes, I am the mysterious Tom Namah-Shivaya.
Seconds after posting about my Possessed EP turning 10 yesterday, @truthoughts.bsky.social dropped me a line saying they'd found a few more copies in storage. Serendipitous. Spooky, even.
Grab yourself one of the last few copies for just Β£9 via Bandcamp wrongtom.bandcamp.com/album/posses...
Happy #bandcampfriday!
