our very own michael webster‘s debut EP “paper dreams” turns three years old today 
it feels like an absolute lifetime since we put this out – a year before the pandemic and so so much has happened since then! 
15 releases and countless gigs and so many more artists. the start of an era, eh? 
this is a collection of some of michael’s earlier work, seven songs with tunes like “firewall” and “oceania rendevous” which we reckon you’ll recognise from any gigs!
it’s available to listen to on all streaming platforms, or you can head over to Bandcamp at https://michaelwebster.bandcamp.com/album/paper-dreams to find it in full – very limited amount of CDs left too if anyone fancies one! 
just a lil love and appreciation post for all of our artists here on the label 
a massive shout out to Olivia Browse Narwhals Alien Clouds Anyone’s Ghost and michael webster – we’ve had TWENTY-FIVE releases out now in the space of six years. it’s been a long old grind and a very crazy journey but we are super blessed to be able to work with all of these amazingly talented artists. they keep us motivated to do what we do
you can find all of their music on streaming platforms or if you want to go one further, head on over to our Bandcamp at www.breadrecords.bandcamp.com/releases where you’re able to buy them and support us and our fantastic friends here on the label. big love to everyone who has made time for us!
