Just finished practicing some songs in my bedroom and as soon as I stopped a kid just shouted HEY YOUR SINGING IS REALLY GOOD (my window is open) and honestly it's MADE MY DAY ❤️⭐😍🙌

✨ GET LOST turns 5 today!
Released on my album WEIRDO, this maximalist synth pop anthem still bangs.

New music from my 5th solo album is coming soon — let’s get lost all over again 💿💥

Technically, it's my 8th album if you include Futuristic Retro Champions, TeenCanteen, and Poster Paints. But by this stage, I'm just happy to be able to keep creating, so who's counting?

I've got a mixed 5th ALBUM as a solo artist. ❤️😀 Feeling pretty good. And I'm really not one to pat my own back.

Sending a private link to some pals to help with track running order and Soundcloud seems to think it's a change in direction of sound judging by the auto-generated hashtags.

Happiness is a recording studio :)

Got more mixes of new album from Howard Bilerman today.

I'm just going to say it.
My best album yet.

Starting to get album mixes in from Howard❤️ FOX YOU (cowritten with @darrenhayman.bsky.social) is pure indie pop with more than a dash of Tracey Ullman and a sprinking of Rachel Sweet 😋 And now I can't wait for the rest of the tracks to arrive 😀💕🌟🎸

Messed about today trying to do an Ivor Cutler song. I'm not usually one for covers, but I really love his song Worn My Elbows Down To The Bone.

Wholesome content.
Giving one of my nieces her first ever record player.

Gave her her first vinyl too.
I am pleased to report it's already been used well and given prime place in her bedroom.
