Two years ago I recorded some songs from my most recent album Eye to the Ear live in my studio with the incredible Many Moons and the wonderful @howl_london ! As it’s the two year anniversary of the album coming out I thought it would be a good time to release this live EP. I hope you like it.

I am over the moooon to announce the release of ‘Come Along’ a children’s book based on my song and illustrated by the incredible Liniers (@porliniers It brings me so much joy to see the way he has brought these nonsense beings to life. Now I know what a humdrum looks like, and a heffalump! I could not be more happy with the way it has turned out. Sooo many thanks to the incredible @magiccatpublishing for making this a reality and all their wonderful work. Long live nonsense beings both great and small. Copies are available to pre order on the link in my bio!

I am incredibly excited to share some of the music from my new album ‘Eye to the Ear’, which will be released April 12th 2024. It has been a wild journey to piece it all together over the last five years. Today I’m sharing the opening and final songs of the album together. The first is ‘Stop the Music’, which I wrote after learning about the extraordinary adventures of an ancestor of mine who had been a pickle and condiment maker. The song slowly fermented, and is now a celebratory stomp exploring themes of consumption, excess, madness, and the possibility of transformation. The final song on the album is called ‘Does the Swallow Dream of Flying’ which I wrote in a solar powered studio in a shed in Dorset. Here, I try to imagine the world from the perspective of other beings, including a bird, a flower, a river, and the wind. It also features the wonderful vocal ensemble @howl_london . I am so grateful to all the people, places, creatures, plants, fungi, and sounds that have helped to bring this music into being. I hope you enjoy! Listen on the link in my bio.

Here is the next video from 2013 that myself, @orbanwallace , @rwdfilm , @gallivantfilm made together. It is a live version of Rich. A song written by the amazing Andrea Vargas @roo.anroo . This time performed in a biodynamic pigsty in Sussex. My equipment was lucky to survive this one!

This is a piece of music called Prefusify that I made In 2008 in my last year of school. Then in 2012 with @rwdfilm And @orbanwallace from @gallivantfilm we made this live session video in a laundrette in Brighton, UK. We had so much fun making it that we decided to make a whole series. I have dusted the videos off and will be releasing little snippets from the live sessions over the next little while starting at the beginning. I hope you like it. I wonder what happened to that shirt!

Go down, let’s go down 🎶
