Off the forthcoming debut 5 track single, befittingly entitled 1, we give you Less Unless for free download. This song, along with 4 others, will be released on March 8th on strictly limited run of 100 screen-printed brand-new-old-stock reel-to-reel style cassettes, in 5 resplendent colours! (As featured on the cover-art) It will also be released on label 5000 digitally for less nostalgic citizens through the usual outlets. Can't wait? Get the whole thing today directly and exclusively from us here. You can listen to the whole thing right now just there to the right in the sidebar, go on, push play ===>

We don't have a music video for this song so it's best to imagine one. Personally we recommend imagining a beach party being hit by a tsunami, so try that first. Or a dashing commercial airline pilot spilling his Mojito on the control panel mid-flight causing a wholesale short-circuit also works well. Let us know if you think of any others. Enjoy!

Actually, the year 1009 was the original date that Roman calender scholars put aside for mixing records, but the Romans were all but conquered by 476 (excepting the Byzantine Empire, but it's just not Roman without Rome ya know) plunging recorded music back by about 1401 years. There wasn't a single decent record made the whole time until DJ Edison decided to break the trend by inventing absurdist spoken word for children with his take on 'Mary Had A Little Lamb'. Prudently, the Romans had pencilled in 2009 as a safeguard. So to commemorate, Civil Civic have been busy mixing their début single. In fact, they have already finished it, not ones to fuss about over things. Besides, there is a world to conquer, and baths, and wine, and baths in wine etc..
