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]
Going over and over
Everything in my head
Looks like I am forgetting, how to forget
Soon you’ll be back again
Soon you’ll be back again
And I’m not prepared (and I'm not prepared)
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s an outline of your face
That could be drunk mistake
You’re not really there, I imagined it
I can taste you in the air
The cologne you used to wear
You’re not really there, I imagined it
[Chorus]
You’re not really there
I can only feel traces of you
If you really care
Then you’d leave me alone, leave me alone
Tonight, I don’t wanna be reminded
There's only traces of you left
[Verse 2]
It's taken all of my energy, to feel like
I am finally getting back to my life
But soon you’ll be here again
Reminding me again
That I’m not prepared (no I'm not prepared)
[Pre-Chorus]
I can taste you in the air
The cologne you used to wear
You're not really there
[Chorus]
You’re not really there
I can only feel traces of you
If you really care
Then you’d leave me alone, leave me alone
Tonight, I don’t wanna be reminded
There's only traces of you left
You’re not really there (you're not really there)
I can only feel traces of you
If you really care (you're not really there)
Then you’d leave me alone, leave me alone
Tonight (you're not really there)
I don’t wanna be reminded
There's only traces of you left
[Bridge]
Oh and sooner or later you’ll disappear
And I’ll be left with the memory
And feelings linger on for days
And everywhere I'll see your face
Oh it’s always at my lowest moments
That’s when I need you
I’m only fooling myself (myself)
That you’ll be back again
Mmm
[Chorus]
You’re not really there
I can only feel traces of you
If you really care
Then you’d leave me alone, leave me alone
Tonight, I don’t wanna be reminded
There's only traces of you left
You’re not really there
(You're not really there, I imagined it)
If you really care
(You're not really there, not really there)
Tonight (you're not really there, I imagined it)
I don’t wanna be reminded
There's only traces of you left (traces of you)
(I imagined it)
[Outro]
I can taste you in the air
(You're not really there, I imagined it)
The cologne you used to wear
(You're not really there, not really there)
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
