A new gig: February 12th

Next headline gig news!

We'll be playing the small room at the KCC in Shipley on February 12th with our friends Spiral (that's a new band formed of Teresa Winter and Tom James Scott) and Hexama.

 

Tickets are here!

We'll have something new with us at this one too, so save your pennies for some treats at full time.

As far as the line-up goes, ho boy we've got a treat for you. Hexama are our old friends and have played many times with us: think drifty ambient post-rock but with some krautrock chops (Mike's a phenomenal drummer) - they don't have a lot of recorded stuff, but we recently did a split tape with them, which is ace (obivously)

Spiral are the duo of Teresa Winter and Tom James Scott - two names that should be familiar to a fair few of you. Think beautiful swirling atmospheres and dense atmospherics. They don't have anything released just yet, so I'd recommend checking out this album by Teresa, and this one by one of Tom's projects, Fallen Flowers. 

If you need a few pointers on the venue, everything should be covered on their website, which is here.

Everything will be done for last trains back to Leeds, Bradford and further afield, and the venue itself is a 10-15 minute walk from the train station (you can pretty much see the venue from Platform 1!) and if you need to eat, there are plenty of options kicking around - you're round the corner from a Greggs and an Asda if you want something cheap and on the go, or there are loads of options for sit down food and decent curries. I went over a lot of them in my post about the Pye Corner Audio show back in May, so have a read of that here.

The Triangle will be operating the bar as usual, but there are loads of other pubs around the place if you get in early and want to explore Shipley and Saltaire. They're also listed in the PCA post, but if you can't be arsed reading it, you have The Ring O' Bells, The Triangle (obviously), Reconnection, Fanny's and a ton of others. Personally, I'd stay clear of pubs in Shipley itself and wander up towards Saltaire - you'll hit a decent pub before long.

Anyway, as always, timings *should* be something along the lines of:

Doors - 7pm

Hexama - 7.30

Spiral - 8.15

satan - 9

although, obviously will be a bit rough on the night as things always are, but it'll all be done by 10pm anyways.

See you there! 

Three EPs out today

Out today, not specifically to coincide with Bandcamp Friday, but it's a nice coincidence, is this collection of 3 EPs I did under my own name back in 2013.

 

To help release the first Ghosting Season stuff way back when, we'd kicked off our own little mini-label called This Is It Forever (named after the Hood song of the same name) and then as time went by, we decided to broaden the scope of it and start releasing other bits and bobs and make it a little cottage industry.

It lasted like that for quite a while, and it was really nice to be a part of something, a little mini underground DIY scene full of weird and wonderful packaging, helping friends release things, getting our own experiments out there, cultivating a fanbase, etc. it was nice!

Anyway, these three were part of that. It'd been the first time I put music together by myself for a long time, and it felt really good to get some ideas out there that probably weren't going to be used for Season/ satan stuff and have no pressure on what they were.

Me playing live solo in Manchester, 2014-ish

Looking back from 2026, it's mad how I let these things loose without much thought haha! The mixing on some of these tracks was *diabolical* so I went back in and fixed them with the knowledge I've gathered over the past 13 years (although some would that's not much lol) and freshly re-mastered them too, as again, some of them sounded pretty ropey by today's standards.

Musically, they're all a little scrappy, a little rough around the edges and not totally fully formed yet, but then again, that's what they were supposed to be - just little ideas, and getting them out was better than doing nothing. Fotograf is the ambient one (part 2 was featured a lot on Adam Curtis films from Bitter Lake onwards, Curtis-heads), Instruktion was me trying to do synthy krautrock and Manuskript was my foray into brittle electronics (with a great big dollop of jungle at the end)

But anyway, I very much hope you enjoy em, it was a lot of fun going back in on these things and I guess it's a fun way of charting how far satan has come.
