  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    100% Bioplastic LP's ! One of the world's first bioplastic pressings.
    -

    Single LP / Gatefold Jacket with 12 page booklet insert

    Art direction, Prop design & Artwork by Nitcha Tothong (Fame)

    Independent label Ropeadope has teamed up with Evolution Music UK to press one of the world’s first bioplastic LPs. Evovinyl bioplastic is a plant based high performance natural polymer that will have a profound impact on sustainability in the vinyl pressing process. The first pressing will be Sirintip’s carbon, a project that addresses climate change from a musical perspective, with sustainability built into the process. Carbon was recorded at Manifold Recording Studios, a carbon neutral solar-powered studio on 16 acres of rural land in North Carolina.

    As Sirintip is bringing climate change to the forefront through her music, it is natural that she would be one of the first to embrace this new, sustainable technology. Risk is inherent in creating change, and while the cost is not at parity with PVC, helping to pioneer and work through this change to help it move to the mainstream is a risk she and Ropeadope are willing to take. Fans who support the project will own one of the first of its kind bioplastic LPs, and will be a voice to further the perfection of the process. carbon will use 100% recycled chipboard for the outer jackets.

about

This is one of the few songs on the album where the climate concern is clearly in the lyrics where mother earth is asking us to treat her better and letting her go from the grip that we have on her.

lyrics

hostage (mother earth)

you held me against my will
i never asked for this
you pointed a gun at my head
wrapped me in stone and drowned me

who was i before you
who was here before you?

oh my heart is broken
you’re swimming inside my veins
oh my tears are turning red
you drag me along in chains
look how much of me will remain

you strapped your foot
around my neck
and wonder why i’ve changed
i’m bound by the air
the promises
that you suffocate

who was i before you
who was here before you?

oh my heart is broken
you’re swimming inside my veins
oh my tears are turning red
you drag me along in chains
look how much of me will remain

i’ve gone down on my knees for you
set my ocean on fire
i’ve cut my hands for you
to share my blood
when will you let me go?
when will you let me go?
when will you let me go?

oh my heart is broken
you’re swimming inside my veins
oh my tears are turning red
you drag me along in chains
look, how much of me will remain
