DOS vs Stay+
I sing on the new single by Stay+. Total euphoric summer banger. Lyrics in reference to the daughter Wren.

DOS vs Duke Ellington
I've always enjoyed those youtube clips where a person has filmed themselves playing a version of one of their favourite songs. It's a strange and modern transmission. At their best these transmissions feel solitary and absent minded. One evening I found myself playing guitar alongside 'Portrait Of Mahalia Jackson' from Duke Ellington's New Orleans Suite. What a gift to give oneself. I didn't perform so well, but first thought, best thought. Youtube has a filter where you can give your videos a "1960's" look, so in the spirit of a hipstamatic world I pressed the apply button. God bless Duke Ellington and his intricate thought forms. I'm sure Mahalia Jackson was moved.

Laid To Rest Vinyl Landing
Laid To Rest vinyl now available from Neuropa. This is music I wrote for a commission with my friend and collaborator Serena Korda. The record features amazing performances by Steve Noble (Æthenor), Alex Ward, Chlöe Herington (Chrome Hoof), The Medieval Baebes, Stephen O'Malley (Æthenor / Sunn O))) and Kristoffer Rygg (Ulver). This is mythical marching band music. Probably the closest thing to Miasma & The Carousel of Headless Horses that I've written for a while.

Fur in the flesh
Alex and I will be performing two Grumbling Fur sets. One in London (September 23rd) at St. Mary's Church in Stoke Newington, and one in Brighton (October 12th) at the Komedia. We'll probably have copies of "Furrier" on vinyl by then.

Grumbling Fur is OUTRE
The Grumbling Fur album "Furrier" is out on Aurora Borealis Recordings. GF is myself and Alexander Tucker at the core. We recorded this a few years ago with Jussi Lehtisalo from Circle and Dave Smith from Guapo. I spent a long time editing and collaging this material with Antti Uusimaki (formerly of Mothlite). I was very much inspired by The Faust Tapes in the construction of this. The album features beautiful pen and ink illustrations by Alex and you can also order a T-shirt/CD combo which looks amazing too.
