I have a new album out later in the year, here's a sneaky peeky at a new song which I recorded on my VHS camcoder called 'Clean & Bored'- CW

there’s a song on this album called ‘Stuck!’ which is about the stuckist art movement and it features a theremin solo so that’s nice isn’t it thetumbledryerbabies.bandcamp.com/album/vangel...

New video for an older song, the first from my newly acquired camcorder x

Had my new video camera for just over a week and I've recorded a bunch of batshit insane videos for the new album, which will be getting a vinyl release later this year. I need a digital conversation device so I can edit the vids on my computer, but here's a few stills. Doing a video for every song.

Really do need to post here more often, but I treated myself to this Panasonic m10 VHS Camcorder today, with the view to experimenting on it and creating a bunch of videos for my next release.

Been SoundClouding for the first time in years. Wrote/recorded this track earlier this week.

I have an 18 track compilation of remixed tracks I did in 2018 out today. There will be a brand new album coming later in the year. clairewelles.bandcamp.com/album/blush-...

Never forget

I remastered my 2019 album 'Transpose' to 24 bit audio and re-uploaded it this morning on Bandcamp. No bullshitting, I was astounded and blown away when I heard it on big speakers last night, like a new/different album. It's free to download, enjoy! X clairewelles.bandcamp.com/album/transp...

Today I've been doing some more soundtrack work for an animated film (which will be out next year) and titting around with my new deck of Eno/Schmidt Oblique Strategy cards for my own stuff, for that electronic free jazz album I've been threatening to make. Bye bye synthpop.

Some of my mini discs from back in the day. At the turn of the century mini discs were bigger than Jesus.

I love my little studio ❤️

Great Friday news #musicsky !!! Claire Welles has just released a new album. It’s on Bandcamp. Digital and CD. Sounds fucking awesome. 🤩 @clairewelles.bsky.social ❤️

I have a new album out today.

New album coming in 2 weeks (8th August), it's called 'Pleasure Tourist' and it'll be my 20th album release in about 20 years. It's the sexiest thing I've done to date. Here's the cover art below.

New video out today, new album coming in August.

"We’re really happy that so much of what we wanted has been possible." @outerwavesfestival.bsky.social preview incl. an interview with festival organiser, Joel Murray. Ft. Ex-Easter Island Head, @clairewelles.bsky.social, @mandyindiana.bsky.social & more sun-13.com/2025/05/09/o...

Trans rights are human rights. Sex work is work. TERFS are grotesque ugly freaks.

'Othello' was released 3 years ago today, 1st April 2022

It's been 1 year since Balance Of Nature was released. It's free to download, as is my entire digital discography.

This afternoon on The Free-Form Roller Coaster, we're rolling around with The Babys, African Head Charge, Fenella Fielding, David Johansen, Claire Welles, Lulu, and more! Sheena's Jungle Room stream 1-3 pm ET at WFMU.org Link: wfmu.org/playlists/sh... Archives will be uploaded soon after it ends.

Was gifted a brand new mic this morning, it sounds so good that I'm gonna have to re-do all the vocals for my next album!

That time I described @clairewelles.bsky.social as 'Ray Davies and Kate Bush on mescaline channeled through a haunted 4-track.' I miss my old Unknown Pleasures column www.getintothis.co.uk/2018/07/unkn...

Music people: I'm after a condenser mic for under £150. Suggestions and recommendations please, thank you x

Anyone remember Facebook? It was a mad place where you handed over all your personal information, shared photos of what food you were eating, you even used to list who you were in a relationship with or married to. Proper mad times. I hear lots of people still use it.

I'm gonna shoot my next music video on Merseyrail.

Happy Mondays were the best band to come out of Manchester btw, just in case you were wondering. All the rest were pish.

My first gig of the year is on April 25th at Outpost in Liverpool. Be great to see people in real life since I quit META at the start of the year. Will be doing loads of newies as ever and a few oldies...'oldies' being a track or 2 from 2021. Old to me damnit. Xx www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Liv...

This afternoon on The Free-Form Roller Coaster we're featuring Claire Welles, Jesse Welles (no relation), The Boswell Sisters, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Cole Porter, and a tribute to USPS workers. Sheena's Jungle Room stream at WFMU.org 1-3 pm ET wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

19 albums on my Bandcamp, absolutely FREE. £0. Nothing. Money is for knobheads. clairewelles.bandcamp.com

On a Stevie Wonder kick this weekend. This album is nuts 🎧

Not simple. Not convenient. Worth every penny.

I love how they released this on ITV Schools, imagine seeing this in Primary School on one of those big tellys they rolled out during PSE. I'd have taken up smack and E's at 9 instead of 20.

New show Fri 14th Mar 4pm GMT on @campradio.bsky.social. Feat. @12hrfoundation.bsky.social @clairewelles.bsky.social @themetamorph.bsky.social @apta.bsky.social @flcartographer.bsky.social @concretism.bsky.social @polypores.bsky.social @surveychannel.bandcamp.com @s77d.bsky.social (as The GulfFire)

“I crushed cans for charity in 1993 once”

It took a while (42 years in fact) but last night I got into Bob Dylan. Was also the first time I'd listened to him on edibles, so make of that what you will.

Thanks to everyone who listened to and bought my new album, which came out yesterday ❤️ First sun of the year and my first selfie of the year ☀️ I'm off to my hometown Huyton to recharge the soul x

My new album 'Amiga Me' (which I recorded throughout 2024 on a Commodore Amiga) is out today. It's 'pay what you like', as I'm essentially starting over again with all my socials. Enjoy ❤️ #commodore #amiga #OctaMED clairewelles.bandcamp.com/album/amiga-me

Spent today fixing my old Yamaha tape deck, was playing at the wrong speed and the belt was fucked. Trying it out now with some of the first tapes I ever bought from the late 80s, as you can see I had exquisite taste for a 5 or 6 year old back in the day...not enough talk about Bros or a-ha here 🫂🎸

Anyone know of any good/cheap CD duplication places in the UK who also do inner sleeves? Kind of bored of doing it all myself. Thanks xx

Been in a very manic/low mood recently, not helped by the fact that it's been winter since about 2022. Also, I came off ALL social media except here and I've had definite withdrawal symptoms from that, having essentially wasted about 15 years on META products. What a swizz. Anyway, Roll on Spring x

5 days til my batshit crazy new album is unleashed on a bemused pubic.

MY DINNER WITH ANDREW is out now! stream it from wherever, download it from bandcamp for £2, or get it on vinyl at tonight’s album launch (LPs will go on sale on my website from Monday)

"Congratulations to Sleaford Mods for their MBE"

There's a darts player on the telly who's just become a grandad today aged 35. I had a Tamogotchi when I was 35.

My first computer: the Sharp MZ-700 which I got c.1987/88. Kind of a cross between the speccy and Atari (which I got a couple of years later), but with a lovely keyboard and overall design. Sadly threw mine out sometime in the mid-90s.

Copping a feel of Robin from the Bee Gees, Isle Of Man, summer 2023. Would like to go back to the IOM this year to visit the Manx Cat Sanctuary ❤️

Track from my forthcoming album 'Amiga Me', which I recorded entirely on an Amiga 500 last year (using OctaMED v.5). Enjoy x ps- the album will follow on March 7th, 14 tracks and an hour long of absolute insanity. soundcloud.com/clairewelles...

Goodnight all, here's a pic of my soon to be 16 year old cat Dora sleeping with her new fave toy ❤️
