LEARNING CURVES by the social service

After a three-year hiatus, The Social Service is finally back with a new album – for the joy of its trillions of worldwide fans! Yes, it appears that even dogs, birds and butterflies enjoy our social services :-)

Most of the tracks of “Learning Curves” were recorded during the wretched lockdown imposed on this world’s citizens (most of which should now hopefully have awakened to the pathetic shenanigans conspired by our demented world rulers). For a number of reasons, this sickening global farce also slowed down our music production, yet it inspired us to some pertinent and ironic lyrics that should put a smile on your face.

The cover art of this album refers to my TYCHOS astronomy research which I have pursued for the best part of this last decade. The 2nd Edition of my TYCHOS book is now available (in freely downloadable PDF format or in hardcover) at my website: https://book.tychos.space/
