Mainly just an excuse to post ‘stuff’ pictures. Look at it!
December 14, 2025 at 8:46 PM
Made one of your classic ‘performance’ videos.

And the original can be found on The Long Dead King EP (Castles In Space)

10 years of our debut Daylight Versions means 10 years since the launch show at the Lexington in London. I think we had 12 people on stage by the end of it. Great show (wish we'd finished the live vid of it).

Tortoise at the Barb last night. Wonderful show! First time I (Matt) has ever seen them - well worth the 30 year wait.
November 23, 2025 at 12:49 PM
Really really into this new Tortoise LP on @intlanthem.bsky.social (and therefore very excited for the London show tomorrow).
November 21, 2025 at 2:59 PM
What an album. Thanks Joseph Byrd.

Back in the here and now, we’re really pleased to have copies of our @castlesinspace.bsky.social EP (from their sub library).

4 tracks of electronic pop(?) released on one of our favourite labels and featuring some excellent (if heavily chopped) harpsichord by @dimorphodons.bsky.social

10 YEARS! We released our debut album Daylight Versions 10 years ago today. To mark the occasion, the album (plus all the associated releases) is pay what you want on Bandcamp:

Talking of new stuff, we have a remix on the new album from Melinda Bronstein, along with some other amazing names (A'Bear, Lou Barnell, Mike Lindsay (Tunng), Kristen Gallerneaux and on and on...)

Pre-order here: melindabronstein.bandcamp.com/album/in-verse

It’s also worth reminding ourselves of how much of a prick he he was when asked to observe the BDS boycott years back.

The original EP was commissioned by @castlesinspace.bsky.social for their Sub Library in 2024 and we wanted a way of sharing a version of the music beyond the Bandcamp paywall. Thank you to all the remixers for turning in such wonderful versions, and thanks to CIS for putting out the original.

The remixes here range from clattering modular synth workouts, minimal electronics, looped and twisted drones, through piano house and gentle ambient washes - you can get three tracks now with the full thing out on tape/DL on Friday 24 October via our Objects Forever label.

These seem to work well (£16 from Mixam, if I remember correctly)

Never been happier being part of our small scene, making stuff, slowly taking our music off Spotify, building a mailing list, chatting to people directly.

This is a great book!
September 21, 2025 at 7:14 AM
Hope you enjoy the code for this Sea Glass album I’ve just found (if it still works)

Should maybe make a start* on LP2 one day.

A summer favourite this morning!

And would you look at that.
