Manchester - based poet, writer, and producer Antony Szmierek is thrilled to unveil his debut album, Service Station At The End Of The Universe. In the past few years, Szmierek has had an incredible journey. He first made his mark in the Manchester spoken - word scene, known for his smooth flow that critiques contemporary British life's hardships and finds beauty in the everyday. His 2023 single, 'The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Fallacy', was a game - changer. It quickly got airplay on BBC 6 Music and earned him the 'Artist of the Year 2023' title from the station. He then appeared on Later… with Jools Holland, had a BBC Radio 1 Maida Vale session, delivered great sets at Glastonbury, and was compared to greats like The Streets, John Cooper Clarke, and Jarvis Cocker. With his 2023 indie - influenced EP Poems To Dance To and now this debut album full of bangers, Szmierek has established his unique sound. The album not only builds on the deep dance - floor poetry started by 'The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Fallacy' but also shows a new, downbeat and darkly poignant side of his writing. It takes you on a catchy and unified journey through pop melodies and thumping dance - floor arrangements.


To enjoy your Service Station At The End Of The Universe vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable, center it, and drop the needle carefully at the beginning of the record. Sit back and let the music play. When you're done listening, lift the needle gently and turn off the record player. To keep your vinyl in top shape, always handle it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it upright in a cool, dry place. The signed art card is a collectible, so keep it in a protective sleeve to prevent damage. Don't expose it to direct sunlight or high humidity, as this can fade the signature and the colors of the card.
