Issue 4: Winter 2011—2012

Cities

Our fourth issue sees an all-poetry selection of written pieces. Everything from octopuses driving around Cambridge to Tesco buying the British Isles, it has a particularly whimsical tone. The front cover features an awesomely detailed fantasy city built just for us by the obsessive architect turned illustrator Mister Mourao.

Issue 3: Summer 2011

Food

As with issue 2, we wanted a broad theme that gave a wide scope for interpretation, so we decided on 'Food'.

Come on, who doesn’t like food? I love it! I recently won a poker game and you know what the first thing I bought with my winnings was? A big steak. I cooked it nice and rare and had it with sweet potato mash, mushrooms and peas. It was absolutely orgasmically good.

Fuck, that has just made me really hungry.

Issue 2: Spring 2011

A Single Letter

Woohoo! We made a second issue!

We were worried about suffering from "difficult second album" syndrome but we seem to have had the opposite with what we feel is a really strong collection.

'A Single Letter' as a theme was low down on our list of ideas, but in the end realised it was the one that was most open to interpretation, and it shows in the variety of responses we had to it.
