The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

This came out in February 2025 on @frontendsynthetics.bandcamp.com
First Decal release in decades. It's electro & techno in that kinda mixed up Decal way. Wasn't sure about doing this but really glad I did. More to come 👍🤘

It's #bandcampfriday

Last release for 2025 on the wonderful @frontendsynthetics.bandcamp.com
Had a lot of fun making this record. It's not really a dub album but has taken heavy influence, hence Of Dub rather than In Dub.

The fourth Of One album released on the mighty @cruelnaturerecs.bsky.social
I took a few weeks to mess around with a load of field recordings of noises using them as the initial element for a track. Ended up writing hours & hours.

Again on @cruelnaturerecs.bsky.social and a project with my good friends @whok.bsky.social @thelastsound.com and Bryan O'Connell. A garage band project if you will. Guitars, bass, drums and a load of noise and fun.

Thanks to Mr. BC for sticking with us over the years, despite our occasional prancing.
