all that was missing we never had in the world

The debut Bleeding Heart Narrative record is also the first release on Tartaruga Records, due out on March 4th 2008. This edition was limited to just 200 individually-numbered copies, which have now all sold out.

The record will be reissued by the Cold Spring label in October 2008, and will be available digitally through Tartaruga around the same time. More details will be announced here when we have them.

Recorded at various times and places over the last few years, this album is an immersive introduction to the world of Bleeding Heart Narrative - we're exceptionally proud to be able to bring this music to a wider audience
