  If you own either of the Moon Ska released albums, listening through this record, you’ll meet old friends in brand new clobber. Rations conjures up images of need, neglect, desire and food banks in the modern world. It definitely shouldn’t sound this positive and joyful. Rations is the sound of misery turned on its head. This CD is a radar pulse crossing borders and political divides and says firmly, we are internationalists.
  
  Zen Baseballbat 2020 are a very different beast to the one mothballed back in the noughties. Comparisons with Ian Dury and the Blockheads start making sense now. These are songs of love, loss, hurt and a knee to the neck from every cunt who wants to keep you in your place. Words have space to breath and weave, voices sound measured with biting intent, bass lines jerk and slide under polyrhythmic prose, whilst organs bounce from corner to corner. This body of work has emerged clear eyed and victorious, handled to a T by producer Colin McKay.
  
  The new album features 11 reimagined songs from the past, each one carefully selected and recreated by Zen Baseballbat from the albums "I Am The Champion Concrete Mixer" and "For Refund Insert Baby".
  
  Each CD is a 12cm vinyl-style disc presented in a printed metal tin, including a foam insert to keep your CD protected.
  
  In an effort to reduce our plastic usage, no shrink wrap has been applied to the tins.
  
  All artwork is designed and created by The Gleavey Twins.
  
  Rations is available stream on January 1st 2021, but pre-orders for the tins are available, ready to be shipped on the 12th of December.
