about

first proper 'record of songs' i made, recorded between summer 2010 and november 2011, released digitally in january 2012, then re-mixed and mastered by my brother and lovingly issued on record by hand of glory in november 2013. lots of thanks to mary and will for putting so much faith in this record. the songs are like primitive baroque messes, with lots of vague impressionistic lyrics about strong and unarticulated desires, drinking in sodden parks, and the brass band cultures of northern england. south pennine magical realism. my drumming is out of pocket and my voice is about one full octave higher.
