Indie, Acoustic & Psychedelic music from The Western Isles of Scotland.
"Extensive and wildly eclectic sonic adventures" - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music
The Boy In The Diving Bell: out NOW - https://flakebelly.bandcamp.com/
Solipsism. Bandcamp subscriber-only track, the 6th for the album. My Genesis, my Popol Vuh, my creation myth. An interlude at the album’s centre: planetarium visions, computer voice, jazzy drums and sonic painting. Music as sensory transmission. Link in bio.

Impulse Control. 2nd Bandcamp subscriber-only track this week, 7th for the album. Funky, simple. Drums like cardboard boxes under tea-towels. Weird beat-poem lyric. I follow my nose & own the bit. Odd things happen. Subscribe for more. Link in bio.

Survival Exhaustion, new subscriber-only track on Bandcamp: flakebelly.bandcamp.com

5th track of this batch. Built on a loop, backwards piano, Rhodes, guitars, woodwinds, strings, and 12-string Danelectro. Vocals whispered partly for the demented sound, partly after Covid.

Mucking about with feedback loops @flamingjangle.bsky.social Danelectro forced into being a bass, WEM Copicat patched through a Tascam 106, pushed into self-oscillation. I like to destroy sound through every wire and circuit I can, hiss and hum included.

The 17th & final song on my new #album is What In The World You Gonna Do Now?

A raggedy, fingerpicked, folksy tune about words and stuff, recorded live in the studio

Haven’t used a #guitar amp in months. Lately I’ve been patching random bits of gear together just to see what kind of nasty, overloaded sounds come out.

I like committing early and letting the recording shape the mix.

Here’s a rough one from today.

Also: buy my #album
