Here's my latest album.
Psych-rock? Without being particular psychy or rocky. Someone trying to do Harmonia without having heard them? Better comparisons welcome.
Lot of repetition, few chords. Half an hour. Listen here:

Want to hear about my worst ever Christmas Day? Sure you do.
20-ish years ago, my then-girlfriend said her brother had invited us to spend Christmas day with him and his girlfriend at said girlfriend's mum's house. Sounds cosy, right? Nope. 1/

Every pollster and focus group will tell you that high street decline and broken down buildings are a key part of our political malaise. I'd love to see government pick a fight with derelict property owners.

Went for a walk to the pond up the hill. Learned from a young lad who was fishing that it contains 4 pike and he’s caught them all. Nice to have a random chat with an enthusiast.

Truly extraordinary documentary.
One that was a formative influence on my desire to write fiction in ways I can’t quite articulate.
Something about the uneasy collision of ambition & disappointment, how we can appear absurd in our most profoundly serious moments & the forces of place that shape us

I'm honestly thinking about writing a book set in 17th century Iceland just to get an excuse to write about necropants.
Also, a fun fact about the Icelandic witch trials is that we burned mostly men for witchcraft.

I collect pictures of gate latches. The endless minute variations and human ingenuity appeal to me greatly, and the countless hands that have moved them. This one is between Near and Far Sawrey, Lake District and has a lovely combination of textures between the iron, wooden gate, and stone gatepost.

If the boss doesn’t use ‘reached out’ for ‘sent an email’ I’m on their side.
My company's marketing boss is a twit, a gaslighter, and NEVER wrong, so after a rough year I casually reached out to several companies regarding their parodied logos on our apparel website.
