Today in Leyton! Dreamhouse Records, a stripped down set to kick off the new album shows. Free entry.

New album from the mothership out today. Spent 6 years on this and I don't think I've ever worked as hard on anything else. Thanks to everyone that put up with me/the group for all of that time. Plenty of copies out there in record shops and on the @fikarecordings.com BC page. Hope you enjoy it!

And me too! Here’s mine, bought on tour in Edinburgh in 2003 when I popped in a music shop ‘just to get some strings’.

This is wonderful. Articulates why I like buying records far better than I could.

First heard this track on a Darla Records compilation that Saloon were also on, back in 2002(?). Nice to finally be able to play it!

Really enjoyed watching him beavering away in Logic, tweaking the stock reverb plug ins.

This sort of thing disgraces all of humanity.

Waiting for Brian...

Andrew is eighth in line to the throne, but that’s prison toilets for you!

How my easter holidays are shaping up. Do come and say hi if you can.

New single from the mothership out today. Really proud of this one - felt like a really decent thing right from when those chords (in open G, nerds) were very first strummed. A little love letter to all our favourite indie pop. Sing it to your shy friends.

“Clouds float away like iron tools on the moon…”

I keep seeing people on TV saying very earnestly that you can't stop kids using AI because they will miss out key skills and that knowing how to use this tech is going to be the cornerstone of their working lives. What a load of absolute bollocks. I hate it.

Released 13 years ago today.

Genuinely, if you live in the UK you should so the consultation just to find out some of the unbelievable details of what's being proposed. Even with their spin and obfuscation it's shocking

It’s official!* *I’m meeting a friend for lunch

This is a lovely video (and song) that made me lolle in all the right places: youtu.be/YNmYMwbd52g?...

This is VERY cool stuff: minordents.bandcamp.com/album/sittin... - spacey Broadcast jams.

Holding off on Bandcamp Friday purchases until I've seen who is providing the best #content

I played some guitar on this (and did the sleeve). It’s a great record!

Well, someone has just mentioned Dave Gavurin from The Sundays in relation to my guitar playing, so that's my day made.

Nice to be back on a number 55 in Hackney again. youtu.be/ZlBeSlDLxlA?...

Took a date to see Sonic Catering Band once. There were no more dates.

Jeremy Bentham Building a prison and spying on every cell I don't think he's well

AI? More like Ayy I got an idea; suck or work on it - no shortcuts to fulfilment, homies.

I've two remixes on this new Miu Mau EP, one as @theleaflibrary.bsky.social and one as Roland Prague (long story). Enjoy!

Astonished at quite how bad some of that new SLMODS stuff is. Like if Pitman took himself too seriously. Exhausting.

Congratulations Ian on completing music. No need to listen to anything else again.

I’m as surprised as anyone that I am now into fretless bass.

Posts you can hear.

Trying to find some concentration aids and, well.

The Free Speech Union commissioned a "security" report on us, so we tested their security. Turns out - it sucks. We've now published the names of everyone who has donated to a FSU fundraiser, along with how much they gave and to which campaign. www.transbashback.com/fsu.html xoxo BASH BACK

Trying to make Rhythm and Sound but it's just coming out like Lemon Jelly.

Good start to the year. Might just stay here.

I’ve always enjoyed both types of Robert Smith song: 1. The world is dead and my soul is buried in the cold, grey earth forever. It’s raining. 2. Isn’t my wife great?!
