Inside the Afterglow listening party

Photos from the night we played the record for two hundred of you, front to back.

Thank you to everyone who came down to Estúdio 13 on a Saturday night to hear a record nobody had heard yet. You learned the choruses by the second time round.

Opening with the title track. Paper Moons, slowed right down. Phones up for the last chorus. Afterglow listening party, photo 4 The new lighting rig's first night. Encore: Undertow. Afterglow listening party, photo 7 Out into the street at 1am.

A few things from the night:

  1. We played Paper Moons slowed down for the first time. It's staying that way.
  2. The new lighting rig survived. Just.
  3. Somebody brought a cake shaped like the vinyl. Whoever you are, it was perfect.

More photos from the shoot and the studio are in the gallery.
