Today I think is the end of the uni's financial year means it's been the final day for a whole host of colleagues who've taken "voluntary" redundancy. Very unsettling experience.

"The One that Haunts Me" is just 3 views away from 200.
The song is dream-pop with big drums, layers of guitar & uke, and ghost vocals.
The video has wild horses on the Gower, graffiti in Grangetown, and hand-drawn pieces by my daughter.
Fun, funky, not to be missed!
