NEW SINGLE!
I See Faces is the fourth and final single from our new album The Haunted Life of Architecture (out next week!). This is the biggest banger off the album - play it loud and jump around. The incredibly creepy 1970s cover is by the inimitable @michael_jeffries_1 .
Do you see faces when you look at patterned wallpaper or carpets? When you look up at the clouds? When there's something in your peripheral vision? That's pareidolia - the phenomenon of finding human images where there aren't any. A very real type of haunting!
Co-produced by singer-songwriter @danielclifford6 and longtime collaborator @harbourmasterrr , I See Faces is available on all streaming platforms.

I'M BACK!
I'm recording new material and I'm playing a solo show.
I'm supporting @amateurornithologist on Saturday 16th May at @poprecs , where I'll be playing new songs and some of my favourite older ones. Make sure you come along to see what I'm up to - and to see fabulous @fayemaccalman , succulent @small_town_brass and awesome AO.
I'm recording a new EP, co-producing with @danielclifford6 and we've been in the studio with @harbourmasterrr to create some amazing sounds for the songs.
I can't wait for you to hear what I'm working on!

TFW you enlist one of the bairns to take a photo but it's still the same photo you post every time...
Anyways, how about May? It's coming soon and it might be a good idea to book something in.

Here's the video for our new single, Decoupage. Directed by @grahamwfilms , the song is produced by @danielclifford6 and @harbourmasterrr . #musicvideo #weirdpop #newwavepop #orchestralpop #chamberpop
Keep forgetting we've got a new single out. This is the artwork by my excellent friend, @g4rrick .
Recorded (nearly) live in the practice room, then overdubbed with better guitars and vocals. A @harbourmasterrr production (obviously).
Rough and ready. 1992 style*.
I imagine there's some links in our bio if you'd like to listen to it away from this post.
*This is a meaningless sentence hinting at future releases...

You're all probably going to see (and hear) a lot from this thing from now on...

Posting once a month is the new cool. Trust me, I'm an expert on these things...
Ok, ok. No, I'm not. But I *am* very good at my actual job so get in touch if you want to work on any music stuff.

IT’S HERE - The Haunted Life of Architecture by Amateur Ornithologist CDs
Just less than two years ago, I started to write this album on a very rare holiday, spent in Wales looking out on the ruins of a castle. And now it’s in my hands.
Fantastic work by my band mates @gionofree@madeleine_smyth@holidaysintolyatti@gigupnorth@midtownskyport and co-producer @harbourmasterrr
Going out to Crowdfunders asap and available to preorder on Bandcamp and our online shop.

Sometimes you just have to move a couple of things around to feel like you can flow.
And, if you don't know what's different, you're not coming in often enough and you really should.

We're so excited to announce our new album, The Haunted Life of Architecture, will be released on Friday 15th May and is now available for pre-order on limited edition CD and digital download.
Made throughout 2025 by the full Amateur Ornithologist band, @harbourmasterrr , guest musicians including @staithe.music 's Nick Pierce, @small_town_brass 's Craig Hissett, @abigail_brierley and @olacarpe.popolsku .
The Haunted Life of Architecture is a psychedelic pop trip through the fears and regrets of an overactive mind.
We're over the moon with the mixed media cover by geographer and artist @michael_jeffries_1 .
We wouldn't have been able to make this album without the support of our Crowdfunders, and we've invested the time and energy needed to create an album everyone who supported us can be proud of.
We'll be launching the album at @poprecs in Sunderland on Saturday 16th May with support from @fayemaccalman and @madeleine_smyth and tickets are available now

Very grateful that my 7 year old and his amazing camera operating skills were on hand the other night, to capture the greatest guitar solo ever at the end of this song.
I don't think the guitar has forgiven me yet mind.

Well, we had an absolutely lovely night playing with @classgymnast and @_beccarubin at @the_ship_isis last night.
Thanks so much to everyone who came along, and extra special thanks to our super amazing guest vocalist.
Possibly the highlight of my career so far!
We'll hopefully see you all again soon!
