A typically gorgeous new single from @francarlyon.bandcamp.com

The first two mins of tomorrow’s Fresh Ingredients (with a bit of music from @davidlancecallahan.bsky.social & some video of my garden)

Alongside Cindy’s stunning new album Another Country comes this mixtape which includes my non-album track Sometimes (they just fall out of the sky). To see my recording nestled alongside some of my very favourite lofi artists of the moment is truly the stuff of dreams. Out now.

Here’s an (even more) stripped back Running On Emptiness, captured live at The Fickle Pickle for Tea and Oranges. Home Truths is available now via @yyzrecords.bsky.social: yyzrecords.bandcamp.com/album/home-t...

I don’t consider myself a natural live performer, and the nerves were almost unbearable this time out, but it’s always massively rewarding and I’ve been on a post-gig high ever since. Photo by William Chouffot at The Fickle Pickle, 21/03/26. Home Truths is out now: open.spotify.com/album/4J7gIo...

If you’re in the Westcliff-on-Sea area next Saturday or not, here’s a good reason to be:

Last September I was fortunate enough to play at iconic San Francisco grassroots venue The Knockout. I’m forever grateful to Karina Gill for arranging it, Michael Ramos for lending a guitar, and to @pilrigpaterson.bsky.social for capturing the moment…

Playing some Japanese city pop on www.untidyradio.com right now. I don’t know if this is a genre I’d have investigated if it wasn’t for the cultural tourism angle: but I like the chilly AOR of these songs.

Belated Happy New Year to the Bluesky indie family 🩵 I have some news in the not too distant, stay tuned…

There’ll be more YYZ releases coming in the new year. Keep an eye out.

A massive Merci! to Philippe of the Lollypop show on Radio Curieuse in Rennes for playing 'Throwaway Friend'... Impeccable, m'sieur. Again, lots of great new music, highly recommended show. canalb.fr/lollypop/8677 Some up and coming outfit called @shopfiresmusic.bsky.social in there, too.

Delighted to be among such good company in @willsband.bsky.social 2025 top 10 list. Thanks for the very kind words, Will:
