“If you choose to ignore this email, remember that you only have a few short years to make your mark”

In 2012, following the release of Thumpermonkey’s “Sleep Furiously” album, singer Michael Woodman received a random email from a fan called Max whom, feeling an affinity with Woodman, felt obligated to share with him his revelation of the end of the world.

Woodman, initially wrote the email off as an artefact from an oddball, but in the following months he found himself beginning to think about Max’s message and the mysterious person behind it with increasing frequency. Woodman never attempted to reply to Max, and to this day, Max has never contacted Woodman again.

“Make Me Young, Etc” marks a clear evolution for Thumpermokey. Guitarist and pianist Rael Jones’s day job as a screen composer infiltrates and inflates the music into an epic cinemascope fever-dream – a backdrop to Woodman’s unique stream of consciousness vocal style, perfectly suspended in a score to a film that doesn’t exist.
“Make Me Young, etc” exists in homage to the unknown Max, and poses the question; if you knew tomorrow was the end of the world, would you be able to let go of all your regrets, and live differently for just one day?


For South London four piece Thumpermonkey, “Make Me Young, etc” is their 8th release.
The band have slowly gestated over the past decade and a half, out of Michael Woodman’s early solo bedroom writing and emerged as a fully formed band around 2006’s ”Chap With The Wings, Five Rounds Rapid“.
The four year period since 2012’s acclaimed cult album “Sleep Furiously” has resulted in two thought provoking and quite extraordinary records, 2017’s “Electricity” and 2018’s “Make Me Young, etc” certainly a career defining highlight.

“Make Me Young,etc” is released on Rockosmos on Friday 26th October 2018 – which coincides with the end of the world.
Don’t make no plans.
