Kitchen. Label is proud to announce our first vinyl release by Singapore-based artist Hanging Up The Moon to be available for shipping on March 25th.

Unable to commit to the demands of a band yet needing an outlet to express himself, Sean Lam of Concave Scream, one of Singapore’s pioneer indie bands, embarked on a solo music project under the moniker Hanging Up The Moon. As hinted at by the name, the songs were recorded in the dead of the night after the day’s work was done, his daughter put to bed, and when all was finally quiet.

2013 sees the release of Hanging Up The Moon’s album “The Biggest Lie In The World” under Kitchen. Label. Featuring the help of good friends and respected musicians in the Singapore music scene Dean Aziz (Concave Scream), Leslie Low (The Observatory) and Victor Low (Affixen) – “The Biggest Lie In The World” is a collaborative effort made possible by the digital, each artiste layering upon the works of one another and adding their unique touch to Sean’s original tunes.

Mastered by James Plotkin, the limited edition 180gm vinyl is packaged inside a customized letterpressed die-cut sleeve. The package also includes a double sided 12 x 12 hand numbered print with extras including a digital download code. The unique packaging and art design is a collaborative effort between Sean Lam’s very own Plate Interactive and Kitchen. Label.

This vinyl LP is now available for pre-order on our site for Singapore orders only. Due to a limited quantity available, we have directed all overseas pre-orders to our international distributing partners.
