Going with the username I had back on the other place when it all began. Likely to be a fair few pictures of album covers and bits of cities. Feel like my mum when she discovered emojis.
Ah, I'm glad you enjoyed. Hadn't heard of Hayden Desser before but listened to a couple of songs and I can see exactly what you mean.

Just happened across this. Much more articulate way of talking about the album than my blether thequietus.com/quietus-revi...

Aye, know what you mean. I have found myself enjoying (if that's the right word) the sections set in or focused on the halfway house.

Ah, I was spared those. I was largely an indie kid too but had had brushes with bits of electronica and club night. This album probably tipped the balance.

Sweet lord. I can still remember hearing Smokebelch II in Fopp in Edinburgh (when it was still just Fopp) and it was like someone had taken a tin-opener to my skull, emptied out what was in there and replaced it with shimmer. Bought the album on the spot and listened over and over.

Hello hello. That's really kind of you and thank you for thinking. Have changed my settings so you should be able to DM now.

I got one of these recently and it's been very pleasant to use (and its name sounds a bit like sneeze).

Wise words, thank you. I'm not great at running regardless of distance though 🤔

Ah, I haven't looked at it for a few years so maybe this time will be different (though I'm not sure what I'm basing that on right enough).
