Unapologetically old-school, often C86-ish #indiepop made without secret plans to fill stadiums (ugh).
Originally from London, currently in Michigan.
New limited edition 10" LP/cassette/CD "Counterintuition" out now.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the recent Photocopies releases... umm... there's a new single out on Tuesday.
Apologies. 😊
So, if you feel the need to catch up on all the recent stuff, see the bio link to see what you might have missed!
(By the way, 2026 should be quieter!)

Think this is probably my favourite album of the year, on @slumberlandrecords.com .
Now that’s what I call #indiepop.

We now live in a world where superstores that once had a big physical media department now have just a couple of shelves, stacked by people who can’t tell the difference between LPs and calendars. 😕

Feeling sleepy this afternoon.
This is what I need.

In Session Tonight, the new on-demand LP record that collects all the radio sessions, jingles, and related alternate versions is now available!

(Apologies for the low-res screen capture!)
It's true The Photocopies only just put out a record last week (should be in the mail very shortly if you ordered one), but here's advance warning of the final record of the year. Yes, another one, already!
December 12, 2025 at 12:45 PM
Wow, I need to hear how these four sound together. What a selection, though I say so myself.😊

HUGE thanks to everyone who bought the new album Counterintuition on Bandcamp Friday!
It reallly helps out the small labels who support lesser-known artists like The Photocopies. 😊
There are no records left, but if you’re quick, you’ll still find the cassette & CD.
Link in bio!

(1/3) If your #bandcampfriday shopping spree didn’t include any of these and you love old-school #indiepop with memorable melodies… you really haven’t finished your shopping yet. 😉

Love this. This is the floor by the mixing desk of the original Motown studio in Detroit. There was so much toe-tapping, they wore it out. 😄
December 4, 2025 at 4:13 PM
This Friday!
And when they're gone, they're gone!

(sound on!)

#Musicians using #Bandcamp, if you get an email via your Bandcamp page that looks something like this, don’t trust it.
The link contains a link to an executable file and that rarely ends well.
Forward it to the @bandcamp.com support email address at the bottom of the email.

(1/5) An #indiepop thread:

If you're wondering what to expect when the new album is released on Friday, here are some details!

The Photocopies
"Counterintuition" album

Released on December 5 as a digital album, plus the following VERY limited edition physical formats, each with unique artwork...
November 29, 2025 at 4:57 PM
The Ultra Modern label is in full-on production mode for the new album!
November 12, 2025 at 9:00 PM
My earliest memory of music is my mother playing Beatles LPs, so last night I finally got to see a Beatle play Beatles songs while I still can.
Expensive 😬 but totally worth it!
He even played Helter Skelter.
Here’s the set list:

A word from the very talented chap who is expertly lathe-cutting the new album. 😊
People who are already making their Best Of 2025 lists, slow all the way down.

(3/3) And the second of these LPs is "Unprofessional Conduct (second edition)" - a revised, expanded version of the second album, also with 16 tracks.
