Book/Magazine + Digital Album
In 2020, Tom Aspaul independently released his debut album, Black Country Disco. Having lived and worked in London for twelve years as a songwriter (Kylie Minogue, Becky Hill, Snakehips, Celeste), Aspaul returned home to the West Midlands where the album was conceived and created.
With no label, no publisher and no PR team (and released during the height of the global pandemic!) the record was named by Gay Times as ‘queer disco album of the year’ and included in several end-of-year countdown lists (Guardian, GQ), supported by a sold-out UK tour and streams of over 4 million.
In collaboration with Polari Press – with foreword by gay icon Princess Julia and featuring interviews with a cast of photographers, producers, filmmakers and artists who helped create the album – BLACK COUNTRY DISCO: THE BOOK includes never-before-seen photography, an in-depth look into the lyrical content of each track and Tom’s musical inspirations and visual references for the album’s creative processes.
I really wanted to document and celebrate the record, from its initial inception, to its release, through to the tour in 2021, as well as showcase all the (mostly queer) creatives who helped and enabled me to fulfil my vision. It’s been a wild, often difficult journey getting this album made, something I don’t think I’ll ever experience quite so intensively again. The record itself is really only half the story

[Verse 1]
Does he keep you warm at night?
Like carnelian around my neck
Does he live by the moonlight?
Wear carnelian in our bed
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you satisfied?
Are you satisfied?
[Chorus]
I’m holding on to something strong
But everything I try is not enough
If you’re my man then why is it hurting so much?
When I know he means nothing
And in the end, yes in the end
There’s only meant to be two of us
(Two of us)
If you’re my man then why is it hurting so much?
When I know he means nothing
[Verse 2]
I look to the stars
Better then looking through your phone
I know there’s nothing to gain
Only envy and pain
I console myself
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you satisfied?
(Satisfied)
Are you satisfied?
(Satisfied)
[Chorus]
I’m holding on to something strong
But everything I try is not enough (not enough)
If you’re my man then why is it hurting so much?
When I know he means nothing
And in the end, yes in the end
There’s only meant to be two of us
If you’re my man then why is it hurting so much?
When I know he means nothing
(He means nothing)
[Bridge]
Ahhhh
(He means no-)
Ahhhh
(He means nothing)
[Chorus]
And in the end, yes in the end
There’s only meant to be two of us
If you’re my man then why is it hurting so much?
When I know he means nothing
(Why does it hurt?)
waiting on the sidelines until i do something worthy of being asked to open for this amazing band. discovered you during a cliche middle-age-identity-crisis. thank you for making me feel simultaneously young and old. lengthsofwire
