My fourth album, Hoarded Dreams, is out today 7th June 2024! It's on all the usual streaming services if you're that way inclined or get it on bandcamp here: https://t.co/gWL7DZb4q4 spotify: https://t.co/dJn5mS1jta #hoardeddreams #newmusic #newalbum #electronicmusic #indiemusic

Reeve and I are off to New Cross for another Chainlink gig this evening and there's no Parasite song about that but there's always this.

Reeve and I are actually in a position to legitimately say "see you down at the Waterfront" tonight as we're playing with Chainlink supporting Madball at a sold out show. Oh yes. #madball #chainlink #waterfront #livemusic #norwich

It's been three years, here's an updated profile pic. For consistency I am in the same location doing the same activity on the same day of the year. Happy New Year!

2024 Chainlink setlists

Just been recording some synth bits for a potential new Parasite track. Used the modular to do a slightly squelchy lead melody, and then an arpeggiated bit for texture, then used the Roland D-50 to quite literally add some atmosphere. One cheeky preset to add some cheese :D

Last minute gig (for Chainlink) in Bury St Edmunds tomorrow apparently if anyone's around. Nice to play a town I've not played before.

Here's some rare shots of a Parasite gig at the much missed Queen Charlotte in Norwich from around that time. I think the action shot is from the last time Radioactive was played. Set: Déjà/ TALOOMB/ Roonion/Yoga/ Training For 2012/ Sonic Dist/ SYM/ YWBMIIWT/ YNWITYW/ Radioactive

The album title "Second Sight" was inspired by Blancmange's "Mange Tout" btw. Genius level punning. This was 2008, and, in the unlikely event you saw me perform live back then, then I'm hoping to recreate some of that experience for 2025. Watch this space...

Currently cooking an awesome curry with my ipod on shuffle. This came on: https://t.co/ljLSPB8x0K and I didn't realise what nostalgia I had for this. Took me right back to moping about during my last year of uni, recording the Parasite album "Second Sight" and being miserable :D

...that have had enough hits and that people would have actually heard of. The songs that actually stay in the charts for years, like a particular Killers song, merely highlight the lack of imagination in playlisting and make it pointless to look back at hits of particular time.

For context here are apparently some of the biggest songs of this year: https://t.co/RSk3wTIOJA Mostly American pop stars, or navel-gazing nostalgia form yesteryear. I don't think you could cobble a Band Aid 40 together with enough current UK stars... 2/

Apparently there's going to be a Band Aid 40, but this time it's just using vocals from the 1984, 2004 and 2014 mixes. Is it too cynical for me to suggest that this is because charts are now meaningless due to streaming and we've a lack of homegrown successful artists? 1/

Announcement(s) coming any day now. It's a new season, and there's a new flavour. #halloween #autumn #pumpkin #newflavour #newseason #newmusic #parasite #announcement

I am still doing music by the way, I'm just not posting on Twitter quite so much... Just recorded some synth parts for new Parasite stuff and may possibly be recording some vocals later on...

Oh wow, new Offspring album is their best in at least 15 years. Genuinely enjoyed that, especially this one:

New Offspring single is admirably insane on many levels https://t.co/XA5IrT7Kdb Including one of Noodles' best guitar solos, this song takes you places... maybe to Brazil?

I have written a few hundred songs in my life and understandably it's reached the point where I don't fully remember how they all go. I just listened to this from my first solo album and it was a cool experience where I'd forgotten what was happening next. https://t.co/srygE0LS29
