Description
‘The Bride’ is a re-working of Iranian song “Aroos Khanom” by Amir Rassaie from the record “Funk, Psychedelia and Pop from the Iranian Pre-Revolution Generation”, an album which had been on relatively continuous loop in the studio whilst TOY (whose previous releases included Left Myself Behind and Motoring) were working on new material.
After weeks of obsessing over this one song in particular, they decided to cover it and make it the next Speedy Wunderground recording. TOY took the basic chord pattern of the original track and made it their own. Natasha then dropped by the studio, heard the track and loved it and started re-working the lyrics (after having them translated) and the melody. The entire recording was completed in 5 hours.
As per usual Speedy Wunderground have pressed this up on vinyl that is limited to tiny numbers - only 250 this time, possibly the smallest run of TOY or Natasha Khan/Bat for Lashes releases to date.

Sold out on pre-order (no surprise really) you will struggle to find another one if you miss out so don't sleep.
There is a tiny ding on the opening corner (visible in picture) otherwise mint.
