about

Sound In Silence is happy to announce the return of Test Card, presenting his new album Channels.

Test Card is the solo project of Lee Nicholson, based in Vancouver, Canada. Nicholson was a member of Preston’s Formula One in the late 1990's and Brighton’s Domestic4 in the early 2000's, releasing albums, singles and EP's on various independent labels such as Kooky, Fierce Panda, Liquefaction Empire, Shifty Disco, Invicta Hi-Fi, Vaclav, and Star Harbour.

Channels, Test Card's fifth full-length album, is inspired by Nicholson's love of mid to late 90's experimental, lo-fi, electronic and post-rock music, particularly on 7 inch singles released by legendary DIY labels such as Static Caravan, Ochre, Earworm, Jonathon Whiskey, Awkward Silence, 555 Recordings, Mind Expansion, Enraptured, Active Suspension, Wurlitzer Jukebox, and many more.
Nicholson says, "These labels, and the bands that released their music on them, all shared a simple mission... to make and release music made with love, all encompassed in a DIY ethic that could be felt and seen in the artwork, the packaging, the inserts, and even the music production! Thank you to Füxa, Avrocar, Magnétophone, Electroscope, Dollboy, Tin Foil Star, Osaka, Transient Waves, Bauri, Portal, Mount Vernon Arts Lab, and the list goes on....".

This is a limited edition of 200 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies. It is packaged in a lovely hand-stamped 127mm x 127mm 260 gsm ivory recycled cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and an insert sheet containing tracklist and information printed on a 120 gsm cream recycled cardboard. It also comes bundled with a download code coupon and a Sound In Silence card.
