Hi all 🤍 Delighted to announce that my debut mini-album Home Truths will be released 6th February via @yyzrecords.bsky.social. You can check out lead tracks Ten Years/Running On Emptiness and pre-order the CD/digital at the following link: yyzrecords.bandcamp.com/album/home-t...
Ten Years is about coming to terms with loss. I wrote it after visiting Reculver in Kent, a place where I spent many childhood weekends. I hadn’t returned in the ten years since my father’s passing and could feel his presence everywhere. (1/2)

Very excited to have played a small role in getting this beautiful, intimate, hushed little record out into the world. The debut mini-LP by Fran Carlyon - Home Truths - is absolutely lovely. There are just 25 copies (in a v nicely presented CD package) assembed with much care.

New mixtape up on the site today! This one explores modern power pop. From the classic ’80s hints of Tom Henry, Billy Tibbals, or Uni Boys to the more ’90s leaning touches of Supercrush and 2nd Grade, the mix works to wrap up all strains of soft-punch punk and jangled heartbreak. bit.ly/4r7AxET

My new single 'The Light Of Day' is out on Friday 30th Jan.
If LDOR was a band, this would be my introspective solo number that I'd play with the lights turned down low.
Look out for it on Bandcamp and in other places.

There's so much stuff going on here at DBR HQ. We have TWO DOZEN releases in the works. European tours are being booked. Records are being written/recorded. Videos are being made. I'm going to be doing some producing. And this year the label turns five so maybe we should have a party? 🤔🤫
