I Grow Tired But Dare Not Fall Asleep: Vinyl LP

Two-time Mercury Prize nominee Ghostpoet (Obaro Ejimiwe) follows his 2017 hit Dark Days and Canapés with a highly relevant record. It's a dystopian view of the unease and anxiety we face as we step into this new decade, captured across 10 essential tracks. The bluesy Concrete Pony is the ideal start - Obaro says it shows our society having everything yet nothing, with endless choices but stuck in place, ignoring distant troubles. Recorded in London, written, arranged and produced by Ghostpoet, this album blends many sounds and styles, rooted in the alt - rock of his last two records. It features guest vocals from diverse artists like Art School Girlfriend, Delilah Holiday of Skinny Girl Diet, SaraSara, and Katie Dove Dixon. Throughout his career, Obaro has a great talent for collaborations, working with Massive Attack, Nadine Shah, and others.

Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable and gently drop the needle on the start of the record. For the best sound, make sure your turntable is clean and properly calibrated. When you're done listening, carefully lift the needle and return it to its rest. To keep your vinyl in good condition, always handle it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright in a record sleeve. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures as this can warp the vinyl and affect the sound quality.
