What the label says:

Epic, exciting and beautiful, ‘To Build A Home’ sums up everything that is great about  The Cinematic Orchestra in one small and perfectly formed package.
Before the release of The Cinematic Orchestra’s acclaimed third album, ‘Ma Fleur’, Ninja Tune sneaked out a download-only version of ‘To Build A Home’, which was met with the kind rapturous response and succession of TV-sync requests which show you’ve hit a nerve.
Since then, featured singer and co-writer Patrick Watson has become something of a sensation in his own right, ‘Ma Fleur’ has become the latest critical badge of honour pinned to J Swinscoe’s CV and The Cinematic Orchestra are preparing to headline their own show at the Royal Albert Hall on 2nd November. There could hardly be a better time to revisit this utterly beautiful, sweeping and emotive miniature masterpiece.
Featured here in a compressed version for the nation’s airwaves, plus the original, the package is completed by a new version from Brooklyn’s Grey Reverend. A Brownstone-dwelling neighbour of Swinscoe’s, the Reverend replays an acoustic cover version, giving it a down-home flavour without losing any of the emotional uplift.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
