There's been little hints dropped here and there recently, but a new album is finishing up. Tomorrow I head off to southern France for a week to do the final mixing on the record.
Owen and I will be digging deep into it in his studio in the French countryside.

What’s that? A little night session, shooting some photos for a cut n’ paste experiment for some artwork for something coming soon enough in the horizon!

Back in Glasgow after a week in Austria and Hungary playing some absolutely grand shows. It was a fun time, great energy and a chance to check out the sites, see some great friends and to perform the songs live.
The next show will be in London at Aces & Eights on the 27th September.

Yesterday's live, on-air set done for Glasgow’s Radio Buena Vida which coincided with my very own birthday. This mix starts out on the more electronic and minimal end of the spectrum and crosses over into more guitar-based and noisier sounds in the second half.

The compact disc version of the latest album No. (2023) is now out of stock! It’s likely a further run may be pressed later this year but in the meantime you can still acquire the vinyl LP — which is also getting low in stock — or buy the digital from BandCamp.

After a few weeks of busy activity, including shows in France, Belgium and the UK, as well as powering through a rather nasty winter bug, I’d just like to say thanks to those that come out to those shows and who invited me to play. More to come back to the studio for now!
