I’m not the sort of person to do one of those unboxing videos where you scream with excitement…but this arriving in the post today has made me very happy…
There’s only 1 copy in the world so far… It's a test pressing from Elastic Stage, who are offering lathe-cut vinyl on demand…

This Friday's single is the last one before my album is out...
It's called 'Late Blooms', and it's a song in defiance of the fetishisation in our culture (and especially in the music business) of youth... In celebration of the fact that people of any age can create potent, relevant artwork...

‘When We Have The Time’…
A love song of sorts… Certainly the closest I get to one on this album…
A song about how there’s never enough time, and how we get caught up in being busy and neglect the things that really matter…
Most of it is in 5/4 time; which is an addictive signature to write in…

Maree Choie is all over this next one… ‘When We Have The Time’ that is, the single that comes out this Friday… winding her astral woodwinds in and out of the words, and uplifting the chorus-bridge-whatever-you-want-to-call-it-part with her vocal harmony…

I’ve put 4 singles out in the last few weeks. If you’ve taken the time to listen to any of them I very much appreciate it!
The next one, out this Friday, is probably my personal favourite. It’s called ‘When We Have The Time’, and it’s about not losing sight of the things that really matter…

Another post in appreciation of the inestimable contribution of Maree Choie to the new music I’m releasing…
On Darkness & Light I recorded multiple layers of her clarinet, flute & voice for what’s probably the most richly textured arrangement on the album. It wouldn't sound 1/2 as good without her!

My last release before these recent solo recordings was a collaboration with Marianne Dissard on the soundtrack album to her theatre piece Souvenir Of England, and you can listen to us in conversation about it with Neil Saint of Retropopic Radio on his latest podcast...I'll put a link in a comment!

This week’s single, ‘My Imagination Of A Swan’ was inspired by a conversation with my daughter, Mika, about how different swans are in real life from the way they’re usually depicted in artwork… Which made me reflect on how people can often be that way too…
