Time Machine is out on LP, CD, streaming, and download — because vinyl sounds warmer, CDs are shinier, and downloads are... invisible. Some signed copies still floating around too, if you're into that sort of thing ✍️.

Time Machine is currently #5 in the UK’s Official Mid-week Album Charts.
If you're thinking of buying, now would be heroically well-timed. Final chart is announced on Friday.
Other albums creeping up like charmingly ruthless pop ninjas. 🥷💿

A reminder - if you bought a Time Machine laminate in place of a CD while at a gig - don’t forget to redeem it! You can't listen to the laminate. We care because we want you to have the album of course, but also, once redeemed, your sale will count to the UK chart!

I wanted to put out this version of Not Perfect the day the album drops, but didn’t want to make it grand, because it’s such a personal song and one that I know means a lot to a lot of people. Filmed in Leeds with a selfie-stick. It's not perfect, but mine.

30 years in the making… my new album, Time Machine, is out now! All 11 songs were written in my 20s, now reimagined and finally properly studio-recorded for the first time.
I hope you get a kick out of it.
