We dream in 45!!! We all love singles, don’t we? You know, with artwork (remember those Smiths singles), an A-side and a B-side, those capsules sent to us weekly by artists we barely knew. Singles can be everything and nothing, you can write a manifesto from them, or just dance, or listen to the wonky B-side that makes no sense on repeat. So far the Treehouse Orchestra Recordings has only released E.P.’s and albums, but now we want to take that twisted jukebox aesthetic further. Over the next twelve months we will endeavour to release a single each month for free download, each release will have an A-side and B-side and artwork, it will be just like those seven inch records you couldn’t part with even though you didn’t have a record player any more. It’s a salute to those pre-Beatles Joe Meek singles, to Motown and Stax, to Nuggets, to Rough Trade, K and D.F.A. and all those other labels and artists who dreamed in 45. Go dance, and if you can’t pour yourself a stiff one, then do it again…….
