Got to be near the front of the queue for the new @bottlecapmountain.bsky.social album in New Zealand?? Another belter! Every track as catchy as the zip on an old hoodie. Bangers and anthems. Northwest is as dreamy as a deep sleep on holiday. Enough tortured similies, it’s brilliant!

Turns out I enjoy projects splintered off of Frayed Flag as much as I enjoy FF themselves. Gentle, a bit stark, and hopeful. 👍

New track ‘Almost’ from my side solo-project is on #bandcamp now and everywhere else on October 13. Almost pop, almost poetry? (And Almost finding an audience 😬😝)

For those interested, I (Dom) have a new musical project: 'Ill-Minded Cameo' a space for songs that sit outside the Frayed Flag sound. My 1st track, 'Almost' is now on #Bandcamp! A cosmically themed song about light & dark, past & present, certainty & doubt

Coming from a man with impeccable taste that means a lot! Okay, it’s a circular definition, but thank you, happy it resonates!

Check it. New Frayed Flag single! Great sing-along chorus with a late period VU vibe. understated, anti-hero guitar licks. Sparse accompaniment. A tranquil anthem for the times and just charming as always!

The song is mixed and mastered and ready for release on #BandCamp tomorrow. My god, mixing is a marathon! Devil is in the details it seems. But it’s ready and sounding good.
