I got together with children's book illustrator Louise Wright and Matt Watkins (Beat13, Gorillaz) to make a video for the song The Creatures of Simplicity from The Broken Family DaySaver. You can watch it on YouTube. But as I found out when I tested a DVD burn of the video, there's something special about watching a film on your TV away from the distraction of the internet!
With this download you get one of the custom-made playing cards that we had made for the video. Drawn by children's book illustrator Louise Wright, the card have their own unique whimsical charm.
The DVD will come very basically packaged in a white cardboard sleeve with handwritten details. The star of this package is the card.

Includes immediate download of 1-track album in your choice of MP3 320, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.

about

Ben Calvert & The Swifts’ psychedelic circus alt-folk first saw the light of day in front of a few hundred avid ears and ... more eyes when they opened the main stage of Moseley Folk Festival in the Autumn sun last September. Since then they have played a sell-out show as support to The Jeffrey Lewis, and opened for Erland & The Carnival, as well as playing to a packed out Birmingham Symphony Hall. less
