Both are available from http://www.lensrecords.com It is important to note that biographical details featured on many websites have not been written by anyone connected with Dead Voices On Air and therefore are not always correct and have not been written with consent. The internet is becoming something slightly more worrying than the mildly irritating rash that it has always been.
