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]
We couldn’t be lovers, we couldn’t be lovers
‘Cos it will not work
So what happens now? Yeah
We couldn’t be friends, we couldn’t be friends
Though I really tried baby
Then you let me down, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
So I could forgive you
And wait ’til you do it again and again
Or cut out this poison
And never ever feel this bad no more
Never ever feel this sad
[Chorus]
And even though I’m losing
And everything’s unsteady
There’s nothing left to say here
‘Cos we were dead already
And even though you’re hurting
And everything’s so heavy
No I’m not gonna stay here
‘Cos we were dead already
[Verse 2]
We couldn’t be lovers, we couldn’t be friends
So we’re strangers now, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t forget you
But I need some temporary memory loss
To cut out this poison
And never ever feel this bad no more
Never ever feel this sad, no
[Chorus]
And even though I’m losing
And everything’s unsteady
There’s nothing left to say here
‘Cos we were dead already
And even though you’re hurting
And everything’s so heavy
No I’m not gonna stay here
‘Cos we were dead already
And even though I’m losing
(And even though I’m losing)
And everything’s unsteady
There’s nothing left to say here
(There’s nothing left to say here, oooh)
‘Cos we were dead already
And even though you’re hurting
(And even though you’re hurting)
And everything’s so heavy
No I’m not gonna stay here
(No I’m not gonna stay here)
[Outro]
You got to save yourself
You got to save yourself
You got to save yourself
(‘Cos nothing’s gonna save you, ‘cos nothing’s gonna save you)
You got to save yourself
(‘Cos something’s gotta save you, if you’re not gonna save you)
Oooh
supported by 22 fans who also own “Dead Already (Save Yourself)”
