A reminder: ​Our album, Still To Breathe, explores themes of memory and perception: how the past influences your experience of the present.
​It's mainly acoustic, but with a strong melodic sensibility. If you rate The Beatles, Elliott Smith, or REM then the link in bio is for you, now or later:

Here is said batch of CDs. I got a horrible shock trying to send one to the US though... might need to adjust the postage cost on Bandcamp. I wouldn't mind, but I didn't even vote for Trump! 😬

I made a playlist of songs I was listening to while recording the album - including songs by R.E.M, Elliott Smith, GHOSTWOMAN, Django Django, Rain Parade, The Stone Roses, Galaxie 500, Terry Reid, Neil Young, The La's, Shack... and The Way After. 🎶

Check it out!

I like a nice round number, but I'd also like more listeners; People who aren't me have said the album is: "immersive, hypnotic... stellar songwriting", "timeless", "exceptional", "exquisite", and "haunting... draws you in effortlessly" so why not hear for yourself?

Saturday's gig went alright! It was nice to try out the new songs in front of some nice people. Hopefully there'll be some friendly faces at the HMV Empire this Saturday too! 😀👍🎶

Music all day at The Castle Grounds in aid of Coventry Music Museum. Free entry, and I'm on at 4.15pm playing a solo acoustic set - so if you're in or near Cov town centre, I recommend you come check it out 🙂👍🎶
