FAKE NEW by tummyache

The first thank you I’d like to extend is to Peter Miles for producing this album and giving us the space to create Fake New at Middle Farm Studios. You are an incredible mentor and friend and inspire us all.

Also thank you to Pete for the precision tape editing required to hide my intense vomiting mid-take of Stop Drop Roll when I had severe stomach flu on day 3 of tracking!

Thank you to my dear friends Bianka Baranová, Linus Fenton, Arthur James, Igor Haefeli, and Torin Moore for lending your talents for this album. I’m so grateful to be surrounded by remarkable musicianship as well as friendship, and so grateful you would lend me so much of your time all for the love of the project. Those nights playing cards around the table helped keep me afloat during this intense week! As well, thanks to Bianka for coming down early, helping set up, and writing ‘Fake New’ (the track) with me the week of tracking when I had no idea what this album would become!

Thank you to another dear friend Lewis Hopkin of Stardelta Mastering for mastering this album with the utmost care. It was a privilege to watch you work!

I’d like to also thank our manager and amazing friend Ed Mason for jumping on board, grabbing the sails, and guiding us with wisdom, care, and passion. Though we began working together after Fake New was recorded, Middle Farm Studios is what brought us together and for that I am so grateful!

In addition to all this gratitude, I would like to dedicate this record to my dad who was my biggest fan. He passed away last year a few months before this album was recorded and I kept his photo on my table in the studio the entire time we were recording. Thank you to my family for their tireless support not only through this difficult time but my entire career.

Another person I would love to mention is Beth Narducci, my mentor and oldest friend who has always believed in me and given hours of advice, guidance, compassion, and many vodka sodas (now zero percent for me) over these twelve years as friends!! Thank you for helping tummyache begin and for always being there x

Lastly, thank you all for listening. I appreciate this isn’t an easy listen and I admire those who are willing to challenge their consumption of media. Many of you have probably been here for a long time and I appreciate your endless support and love.

FUCK SPOTIFY.

FUCK TIK TOK.

FUCK CORPORATE OPPRESSION.

FIGHT FASCISM.
