Herewith the last chaotic minute of “I Might Not” by Lost Crowns, from an album which we made and which you can get here. lostcrowns.bandcamp.com/album/the-he... Don’t try tapping your foot, it won’t work.

We celebrate these incredible comics about trans, non-binary & gender non-conforming people. Gosh! is and will continue to be a safe place for this community and we will work hard to make it even safer in the future, to support them and their work, and to fight against transphobia and fascism 🏳️‍⚧️ ❤️

We've pressed "go" on the new Lost Crowns album a few days early, not because we're impatient, but because we're nice. Which one is your favourite? "All of them," cheered everybody in unison. lostcrowns.bandcamp.com/album/the-he...

Shelby has been working on a new docuseries about various service stations around the UK. This is the pilot--we've sent it off to the BBC, but haven't heard anything back yet. Excellent camerawork from @charliecawood.bsky.social as well. #ontour #progrock #synthpop

Here! The new Lost Crowns music video is released today. ‘Et Tu Brute’ is taken from our second album, ‘The Heart Is In The Body’, which will be released one week from now. A link to where the album can be found will be placed in the thread below. youtu.be/ndzNLsXDv3g

This evening Lost Crowns have a "listening party", i.e. the new album streaming in its entirety while members of the band chip into an online chat saying things like "check out those handbells, man!" If that sounds like your idea of fun, join us at 8pm. lostcrowns.bandcamp.com/merch/the-he...

I’m thrilled to be supporting @Manics for two nights at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on April 18th & 19th. Unfortunately, this means that we‘ve had to move the show at London Earth to later in the year. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you understand x

I recently had the unmitigated pleasure of editing the new 60-page comic book by the incredible Jua OK. An allegorical story of a mountain pilgrimage, which explores themes of trans-ness and spirituality, ‘Road To Chimera’ is finally out in physical form! Shop link in the comments below…

A lovely review of the recent album launch by Gleb Kolyadin. It was a real pleasure to be involved!

Live Review | Gleb Kolyadin – Piano Smithfield "He plays bent into a crescent, almost in prayer over the ivories, moving with the sweeps of the music as a plant moves in the breeze..." By Elise Price 📷 Leon Barker bit.ly/41FXcwW @charliecawood.bsky.social @londonproggigs.bsky.social

Wishing a very happy birthday, and many happy returns to the amazing and endlessly stylish @charliecawood.bsky.social !

Got myself a new little gizmo to dick around on!

I’m 37 today, friends. (Photo taken last week by Andy Porter. Look out for the full version real soon…)

Who is up for a little call-and-response from the end of our London show last night? What an amazing crowd and turnout! Huge thanks to all involved. ❤️ Tonight we are headed to Bristol to jam at @roughtraderecords.bsky.social Tickets at www.kyrosmusic.com/tour or on the door!

Oral hygiene is my passion.

Six dazzling riffs out of about 2,500 that can be found on the forthcoming Lost Crowns album. youtu.be/YujpqOf2O5M Pre-orders are flying out of the door, kinda lostcrowns.bandcamp.com

The second Lost Crowns album, ‘The Heart Is In The Body’ is now available to pre-order on limited CD and download! It’s truly an extraordinary thing, and one of my favourite things I’ve recorded on. Expect illegal harmonies, and bars of all durations. Bandcamp link and preview in the thread. 👇

Lost Crowns first record was one of 6 Music's albums of the year despite having a million notes in it. The new one (out April 4) has two million. I completely love what we've made. Pre-order at bit.ly/lcthiitb, and a short sample of the lysergic cacophony is below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om2J...

Very pleased to share that I’ll be joining the excellent Gleb Kolyadin as a guest at his album launch in London on the 28th. I’ll also be joining him and Marjana Semkina for some Iamthemorning material! (Event/ticket information in the thread 👇)

Bournemouth! We will be heading your way on 6th March to rock out at The Bear Cave! We are joined by our friends, the killer synthwave duo of Velour, and we will be bringing the synthpop and prog rock vibes on our end to make for a truly unforgettable night. Tickets at www.kyrosmusic.com/tour

The new single by Gleb Kolyadin - piano virtuoso and one half of Iamthemorning - is out today, and has a gorgeous animated music video! Features me on acoustic guitar, guzheng, zither, and glockenspiel. Video link below… 👇

Looking forward to sitting in with Gamelan Lila Cita and Sekar Lukes Community Gamelan this Friday at Battersea Arts Centre, London! Tickets below 👇

Kyros tour incoming!

Recording my gorgeous new Paul Hathway cittern on the forthcoming Mediaeval Baebes album. This instrument was debuted on the recent tour in December, but this was its first time in the studio. It sounds magnificent!

Very much looking forward to once again joining @theanchoress.bsky.social on tour!

#NowPlaying Montresor - Autopoiesis Learned that @charliecawood.bsky.social worked on this and was curious, so giving it a spin. Really good stuff. 👍 montresor.bandcamp.com/album/autopo...

Get some Charlie on your art.

I recently had the pleasure of recording a load of instruments across two tracks on the new solo album by Gleb Kolyadin, piano virtuoso of Iamthemorning. Out on February 28th on Kscope. Bandcamp pre-order link in the thread! 👇

Thanks for everything, David…

Hello Bluesky! I’ve not done one of these yet. However, I’m now in the position where I have shockingly little work over January and February. Please DM me if you need any of the following skills I possess, which I’ll list in the thread below. 👇 #promosky

Now for the September and October recap! We did a ton of recording in September for new single. And in October, we traveled over to Germany for the very metal Euroblast and to the US for the very prog rock ProgStock in New Jersey! Only one more recap to go, but it's a big one!

July and August! This is where things got REALLY interesting and we kicked off our big batch of summer tours. Starting strong with RADAR in July, we moved into a series of co-headlining shows in NL and London with An Endless Sporadic! Joey played ALL the notes.

Time for our March and April recap! We got a lot of love from our favourite reviewers in the Prog Rock scene, and we had a lovely little tour through the UK, and announced our Cruise to the Edge appearance. Also (not mentioned but...) Shelby bought a friggin STUDIO. 🤯

We got up to a LOT in 2024--here are some of the highlights! This one covering January/February. More to come!

Time to subject my family to the *actual* greatest Christmas film of all time.

Earlier this year, my mum was diagnosed with dementia, which heartbreakingly has limited her capacity to read books. Yesterday, I asked if she’d like anything from town, and she said she’d like a nice book. I’m not sure if she’ll ever be able to read it, but it was worth it just to see her smile.

Final date of the Mediaeval Baebes tour last night, and our excellent merch girl Pearl made me this card for our secret Santa. One of my favourite things ever!

I don’t make the rules. And neither do you.

We just released a track commentary going through "Fear & Love" off of our new mini-EP, you guessed it, Fear & Love! We dig deep into the prog rock and synth pop elements of the sound, and much more. You can watch it here: youtu.be/1cxsic5sLb0

Putting the ‘stick’ in ‘mystical’. (Playing Truro Cathedral with Mediaeval Baebes)

Post somebody you've been told you look like who you definitely don't look like.

Hey everyone, today is Bandcamp Friday, which means that all sales on the platform go directly to the artist! We would love it if you gave our prog rock and synth pop inspired tunes a chance! kyrosmusic.bandcamp.com

What a year! We are truly touched by how much you all enjoyed our music this year, new and old, and we have the numbers to prove it! Thank you to everyone who bought, streamed, watched, attended live shows, or anything else! ❤️❤️❤️

Going on tour today with Mediaeval Baebes! 17 dates across England and Wales, starting tonight in Milton Keynes. Will I see anyone there? Ticket link below 👇

Charlie brought it all on his performances for our new EP. The slapping, the popping, the glockenspielening. All of it. ❤️

We were nominated for the Prog Report awards! Specifically, we were nominated for artist of the year and album of the year! In a truly stacked field of competitors, we are honoured to count ourselves among them. You can cast your vote here: progreport.com/vote-for-the...
