about

We are delighted to announce that Happy People Records will be releasing the brand new album from Zen Baseballbat - Better Ways To Love & Offend on ltd. edition LP vinyl.

Zen Baseballbat's third studio album is a fantastic, forward thinking blend of new wave sounds fused onto their ska and reggae scaffolding. The likes of the B-52s, The Beat, The Specials, Yello, The Fall and Human League all play their part, while their Mancurian roots & influences remain undeniable throughout.

Or as the band themselves describe it... "a slap in the face, a wake-up call to rip us from the stasis we’ve ghosted into since recession and Brexit took hold. Can’t go forward, can’t go back so we might as well just sit and watch the bombs fall."

Only 300 copies of the LP are being pressed (100 on coloured vinyl and 200 on black). All numbered.

A CD version which is presented in a printed metal tin, packaged in a bespoke envelope with an A5 booklet for the lyrics is available directly from the band at zenbaseballbat.bandcamp.com/album/better-ways-to-love-offend
