Apple music stats have shown me that when ‘Stone Little Bird’ was played on the radio last week, 28 people used the Shazam app to find out what it was. I am honoured, it was 7am, I can’t even focus at that time, let alone use an app

New one from Dimorphodons aka RJ McKendree (sort of). Strong psychedelic Dennis Wilson vibes (clue's in the title probably).

I’m super glad to see Bluesky go up a notch in the last couple of weeks because: here’s my first new music + video in a while! Bit of a different vibe this time- lonesome Casio beats plus real harpsichord. Please share and subscribe if you like it!
