To promote the launch of Sleeping and Dreaming of Food, based on the comic by Kolbeinn Karlsson, Happy Endings are selling Kolbeinn's latest fanzine Här Var Vilda Västern (This was the Wild West).

Här Var Vilda Västern has been descibed as a homoerotic story about life, death and nature that takes the reader through a stream of stories and events. The dialogue is in Swedish but sparse, with only one coherent phrase - the title of the comic.

We're also selling the 7" single by Postkontoret, which Kolbeinn designed the cover for. "Epic, distorted instrumental glitch-pop with haunting melodies."

Both of these products are available in the UK for a very limited time only.
