it’s always disheartening when I find out a love song I thought was about a partner is about heroin. Or worse, god. 😹💀

It is October and I am, in fact, making weird cardboard bullshit out of old cat food boxes ✨

What an absolute thrill to be a part of this wildly fun project, thanks for the opportunity and the bonkers trailer, Oli! 🖤

The trailer that was promised for upcoming Psycho H mega project, 'All The Colour Of The Dark', all 9 minutes of it, chock full of amateurish technical errors that I'm gonna lean into from this point on and say are intentional. www.youtube.com/watch?v=phZJ...
