The Boy In The Diving Bell, out today. 17 tracks of psych alt-folk, tape loops, and acoustic laments. Made with a 1960s reel-to-reel, first takes, mistakes left in. Warts, bed-hair, yesterday’s breath.
On CD, vinyl, and download. Links in bio.

Solipsism. Bandcamp subscriber-only track, the 6th for the album. My Genesis, my Popol Vuh, my creation myth. An interlude at the album’s centre: planetarium visions, computer voice, jazzy drums and sonic painting. Music as sensory transmission. Link in bio.

Impulse Control. 2nd Bandcamp subscriber-only track this week, 7th for the album. Funky, simple. Drums like cardboard boxes under tea-towels. Weird beat-poem lyric. I follow my nose & own the bit. Odd things happen. Subscribe for more. Link in bio.

Survival Exhaustion, new subscriber-only track on Bandcamp: flakebelly.bandcamp.com
5th track of this batch. Built on a loop, backwards piano, Rhodes, guitars, woodwinds, strings, and 12-string Danelectro. Vocals whispered partly for the demented sound, partly after Covid.

Hello world. When I’m not modelling typewriters or polishing a gingery, salt and pepper beard, I make musics. One feller said “lyrics straight out of the Unabomber’s diary.” Another called me “a genuine weirdo-auteur.” Have a listen: flakebelly.bandcamp.com

All About Her is one of the bare-boned songs on my album The Boy In The Diving Bell. Indie-folk with a hint of bluegrass, recorded double-tracked live in the studio – minimal overdubs, just music in a room, flaws intact.
