It's been three weeks today since I released The Pool with @castlesinspace.bsky.social, and it's been a huge success. Digital still available, but there aren't many hard copies in the wild now.

Thanks for the amazing reception everyone. It's been delightful. X

All the emails in the world are telling me it's Bandcamp Friday! I've not got anything new on the go, and all the vinyl is gone (soz) BUT my album The Pool for good ol' @castlesinspace.bsky.social is still available digitally, as well as all my other choonz. If you fancy buying them, that's lovely.

Thanks everyone who picked up a copy of "Cosmically A Shambles" over the weekend in the @crackedankles.bsky.social sale, I hope you like it! It's funny, people keep comparing it to Plaid, who I'd never heard at the time. I was trying to make a psych rock/jazz album with modular and a drum machine. 😆

Happy Record Store Day for yesterday! Spent it swooning around Manc with @djdebgrant.bsky.social DJ’ing every nook and cranny. Managed to grab the @rivalconsoles.bsky.social LP I was after and spent far too much time in @piccadillyrecs.bsky.social // Props to @apta.bsky.social What a day 🥳

Jon didn't cut it, sorry. Ben at Plastidisc did. Doh
I'm glad you're all enjoying The Pool, it makes me very happy.

Here's my usual revisitation of an album (EP) I made during lockdown which I probably credit the most for my sound nowadays.

It's called 'Sun' and it did get cut onto vinyl by @doitthissen.bsky.social , 40 black 10 clear vinyl.
