Thanks to everyone who came to the warmup show last night at The Horn in St Albans. It might have been a bit chilly in the dressing room but you certainly warmed our hearts and bodies up as we hit the stage.
Hope to see for for the main event on Friday at London’s Union Chapel

No rest for the wicked as I was up early getting in. The shows are just ten days away now and I always get stuck into a daily ritual of running the set from start to finish to get my muscle memory embedded in.
What have you all got planned for your Sunday?

We’re just two weeks out from the shows now. One of the ways I can manage the adrenaline overload before going on stage is by having a nightly ritual of getting ready and putting my #gigface on.

I know times are tough & not everyone can afford to buy a ticket for the show next month.
If you’d like to come the Union Chapel and don’t have the means to buy a full price ticket, I’m offering up a handful of half price concessions.
Just drop me a DM and I will do my best to get you sorted x

Spent this afternoon laying down some omnichord on a new track for the album.
It’s one of my go-to instruments for adding a layer of twinkle-texture that can’t carry the weight of another melodic instrument that is going to make frequency masking an even more complex issue.

Honoured to have been asked to contribute to this piece to mark the opening of the David Bowie archive this week, alongside Goldie, Moby and Natalie Merchant. I got to pick the object I’d most like to get my hands on from the 90,000 in the archive: www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

Hey folks. If you're not already stocked up on some superb Anchoress musical goodies, then today is a good time to rectify that
To celebrate reaching the unbelievable milestone of 20,000 physical album sales, I’ve decided to do something a bit mad today and have a better than half-price sale on all my CD albums.
Head over to Bandcamp to grab one while stocks last!
