Behold, the cover artwork for the forthcoming ORE album, Belatedly.
AND, the wonderful folk at Box Records have put the pre-order live on Bandcamp…so if you are super-keen, please click here or on the cover image above.
ORE IS GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
It brings us great pleasure to announce that our latest album Belatedly will be released on Box Records in November.
Yep, that’s a little way off but we just had to let you know now as we are so pleased to have found such a great label to partner with. It will be released as a double LP (and download) to reflect the split between the two sides. The artwork and mastering are underway and we are working hard behind the scenes to bring you something special.
ORE is delighted with the album and believes Box Records is the ideal label partner to deliver it. More information as it arises but for now, check out the preview below.
ALBUM BLURB
Belatedly is a split album featuring five Native (ORE only) tracks on Side One and five Compound (ORE and collaborators) tracks on Side Two. I am delighted to announce that previous ORE collaborator Kazuyuki Kishino (KK NULL) has laid down a typically rich contribution, with other collaborators including oud player Khyam Allami, trombonist Sophie Cooper, contra-bassoonist Thomas Stone and baritone horn player Beck Baker. A heady mix!
The title is derived from the fact that I failed to complete this album the first time around. I started it in late 2014 when my father was diagnosed with lung cancer but failed to complete it before his death 8 months later. I subsequently aimed to complete it but found that too hard…so had to start the whole thing afresh. This is now ready, Belatedly.
Thank you to everyone involved with this album to date, whether as a musician, artist, or just through making suggestions for who might sign it etc.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
That lovely chap Stuart Maconie played the track Vanadium from the forthcoming album Belatedly on the Freak Zone.

This is the first airing of a tune from the new album. I hope you enjoy it. The label search continues…
With the new album almost complete, I have been searching the archives in an attempt to raise some funds to avoid it costing me and arm and a leg to release. Hopefully I will find an appropriate label home for it and they will help with the costs of mastering / artwork / production / PR etc…but failing that this will fall to me.
So, I have – with the kind endorsement of those involved – re-issued the ORE/KKNULL 7″ entitled Components of Circulation / Dawn of Time. This is now available as a digital download via Bandcamp, alongside the original 7″ record. It’s a lovely release and any funds raised from its sale will help support the latest album.
I have also added ALL OF ORE to Bandcamp, which includes all ORE releases and merchandise to date, for the princely sum of £30! There are only 15 of these bundles available as that’s how many t-shirts there are left…and be quick because only the first two orders will come with the self-released ORE//KKNULL Archispirostreptus Gigas CDr – as there are only two copies left!
As a full-time artist, I rely on – and greatly appreciate – your support. More news on the new ORE alum soon!
