Although I was a bit nonplussed about the recent Geese album, Cameron Winters solo album is strange and compelling. Totally marmite I suspect and doesn't really sound like his band at all. Gentle and slightly odd. Liking it.

People have been doing this and I was looking through my concert photos, and apart from the ones I took semi professionally for a mates band, 95% of them are trash. Blurry smudges, no good. Anyway here's a half decent one of well, I don't know?
