Flying Nun Records is proud to present 12 Omeros, the latest release from Auckland's industrial-tropicana pioneers Sharpie Crows.

Building on last year's compilation, Nostalgia Kills, 12 Omeros is the four-piece's debut full-length album. Featuring ten tracks, 12 Omeros is the diary of a fevered dream -- it contains a love song, a manifesto, memories of past lives, all tinted with the ecstatic nihilism of the seriously ill.  The music recorded by the band (Sam Bradford, Casey Latimer, Jackson Hobbs + Steven Huf) veers between the velvet unease of lush brass and synthesiser to the improvised fury of a sarcastic punk band destroying a garage. Sharpie Crows are the house band of your troubled conscience, and this is their masterpiece.

12 Omeros is available now digitally through Flying Out (with additional bonus b-sides), plus if you are in quick enough, on limited edition b(h)and made CD, each with a unique message on the disc, and lovingly wrapped in a 12 Omeros poster.
