I’ve calculated that I’ve worked with @sunnofficial for 20 years now, starting during my tenure at Southern Records in approx 2006. 2009’s Monoliths & Dimensions was the first sunn O))) album that I promoted, which in many ways felt like a tipping point, and it’s been truly incredible to see their trajectory since… Working with @subpop on their tenth album - that has just been released on Friday - has been an absolute dream. The energy of the entire team has been really exciting as is their openness to creative ideas and opportunities. This feels like such a great moment! The press coverage has been amazing too, so many brilliant articulations about the music and their history which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading. They got their second cover for @thewiremagazine !!! (the first was with M&D) and that has been a fun challenge to help bring to life and with such an incredible cover by Savage Pencil (@flyzruz ) Playing a key part in organising their London album listening event at The Social with The Wire Magazine (big props to Emily and Joe) was a proud moment. Hosting fans and friends for an early preview of the album was such a great experience. There’s been other brilliant features too, including a substantial and interesting one in Uncut and a different take on the enduring power of durational music in Crack Magazine. There’s an amazing Album of the month review in Mojo with an awesome illustration inspired by Charles Peterson’s photos. An album of the week review in The Guardian, Album of the Week review in The Quietus, **** reviews in The Times and The Observer. Plus a residency on @nts_radio (ongoing) and a wonderful End Of Days Feature on BBC Radio 6 Music with @maryannehobbs_ This and so much more! With the UK and European tour coming up in the summer, I’m so))) excited to see what comes next!

Finally coming up for air after the intensity of the past few weeks following the surprise @neurosisoakland album announcement. What a privilege to be entrusted in keeping such a massive secret for the past months. I am so happy that Neurosis has found a way forward and what a masterpiece! Sublime, soul affirming, hopeful, galvanising and so creative! Thank you @neurosisoakland for your trust, and it’s been deeply joyful to lap up all the reactions and thoughtful reviews and I cannot wait to see what comes next. Photo by @bobbycochranphoto

Paid a visit to the Nine Ladies of Stanton Moor this weekend to bask in the winter sun and romp around the Derbyshire moors. Still thinking about Saturday too, another top tier @well_dressed_derbyshire event with some great talks and live performances (I bloomin’ love @jenniferballadss ) and I’m still giddy that we got to jig merrily with @boss.morris Plus bonus hangouts with Meyer of the West Midlands @lisa_capsule and meeting the lovely Russ Slater Johnson. What a weekend! Also, Drag Night at the Druid’s Inn? Love that! Giving me another reason to go back to the homelands soon again!
