Head over to our Bandcamp page via the links below to pre-order CDs & digital downloads of the former; tapes, CDs, and downloads of the latter! 💿 You can also preview the songs “Lazy Projector” by Chris Hepola and “As If” by Michael Moore AKA More Milk on each respective Bandcamp page 🎶

🎭 Bumpy Records is hugely pleased to announce the debut full length album “Chewing the Scenery” from Chicago-based electronic maestro Jaff Graffner - Alias of Jeff Graupner of beloved DIY groups Tension Pets and The Hecks. His debut album is a wildly fun and boisterous collection of art-pop bops that invites listeners to uncork the gusto within and let it rip. Each song is crammed with undeniable, poppy hooks smeared with quirky komische smirk; teeming with fellow Chicago arts scene kooks. “Chewing the Scenery” by Jaff Graffner is out on 11/20 across streaming platforms as well as limited edition LPs, CDs, & cassettes 💿

Starting today, you can listen to the leading single “Parlez-Vous My Fantasy? (ft. Fran)” as well as pre-order LPs, CDs, and cassettes on our Bandcamp page. All pre-orders come with an immediately available download of the single! 🎶 Link to listen & order is here: https://jaffgraffner.bandcamp.com/album/chewing-the-scenery
