Fellow Mortals - “Stella’s Birth-day”

Fellow Mortals unfurls as the latest, literary-led project from Trashcan Sinatras’ Francis Reader and Simon Dine of Noonday Underground.

Their ongoing, five-decade artistic and personal friendship detours to produce Stella’s Birth-day, a 14-track 10” lavishly illustrated, full colour 38-page al-book (album and book) release. It gives melody and images to author of Gulliver’s Travels, Jonathan Swift’s, most emotive verse, featuring full lyrics and personal notes from Francis, offering insight into the meaning and context of each piece:

/1/ Dancing Days /2/ Venus in Her Prime /3/ Poetic Dress /4/ With These Eyes /5/ Oh, Stella /6/ This Day /7/ Serious Lines /8/ Some Lasting Pleasure /9/ Reflecting /10/ Stubborn Stoics /11/ Who With Reason /12/ A Better State /13/ So Unkind /14/ I’m Alive

Stella’s Birth-day is released in a very limited, hand-numbered, hard-cover pressing of 300, available for pre-order exclusively at trashcansinatras.com.

The album is released digitally on March 13 (Stella's birthday) and in physical form on April 17. Pre-orders are expected to begin shipping shortly in advance of April 17.

Note: Orders ship from the USA or Canada, depending on your location. If you order items other than Stella, you may be subject to split shipping, where parts of your order ship from different locations. Split shipping costs (if any) will be reflected at checkout.
