I did a really cool flashy 80s synthwavey sort of remix for the boys in Gallops, and it's out today! Had a lot of fun with this one, made all the better by the amazing sounds they gave me to work with.
And if you need remixing btw, I'm always here! I really enjoy delving into other people's work and having a good old root around, so hit me up if you need owt doing.
New satan!
Funny, thinking back to the gap between albums no.1 (Arrivals) and 2 (Even Temper) was like 6 years or so. 6 YEARS! Imagine that. These days there's a good chance 12+ albums would arrive in that time. Which brings me onto today's topic: release number six of the year - an 11+ minute monster called Patterns, and featuring the awesome Anchoress on some spoken word duties at the end:
I've had this in the tank for a while now, and whilst Bloodsport, Glass Infinites, 0207, and the few other bits and bobs around those releases, have all been and gone this year, I'd put Patterns back to the arse end of the year, trying to juggle two more prospective albums (one stuck in vinyl pressing hell for at least 3 years at this point), and at least one more single too. To hell with it! I thought, what could possibly happen that'll screw up this release? Let's just crack on and bang it out now!
Well, the queen died. That's a pretty big thing to get in the way, I suppose.
Anyway, if you've not heard it yet, Patterns is out now, and pay-what-you-want to boot. Good, eh?
Released today, not specifically for Bandcamp Friday, but thought I might as well put it out on said day as it's a good time to do it, is this little ambient guitar EP I made recently called Slumbertones #1.
It's a little thing I made to help my mum get some sleep, as she's found it pretty hard recently, due to a pretty intense operation on her heart she had to have as she had an arrhythmia. the operation was all good, and she's fine now, but bless her - she kept me updated on her sleep schedule whenever I asked her how she was afterwards. Thinking I could maybe help, I dusted off my delay pedals and wanted to at least give it a shot, to see if I could make something that could help her drift off.
Me being me though, I sort of made some of them a bit busier than I probably should have, so not sure if there's too much going on in some of the tracks to really help someone drift off, but it's the thought that counts, right?!
Anyway, hope you all enjoy it. It's pay what you like too, so if you can't chip in, don't feel pressured to.
There'll be some new satan dropping very soon btw - I was thinking of doing this EP as a satan thing, but thought it actually suited my solo project a lot more, so popped it on there instead.
Enjoy!
