I made a new isolation playlist of lone guitar meditations called 'Season of String’. It has been helping me get through the past couple of weeks. I wrote about it for the folks at NPR Music. Read the feature and check out the music. I took the photo a few years back of a deserted rail track in Dorset.
SpinCycle, my long-running infinite playlist - which until now has been exclusively on Spotify - is now on Apple Music too. I started the list in 2014. It has grown to over 1,000 songs. New, old, rare. All stuff I love. I update it roughly every two weeks. It sounds great on shuffle! Find a new song to love.
First pressing of Storm Damage in mint green vinyl sold out recently. But we now have MORE. And on sale in our own shop too. Not signed but still lovely. Get one.
I'm playing solo and signing copies of my new album in a handful of small indie record shops at the beginning of February. Come and see me in Marlborough at Sound Knowledge, Brighton at Resident Music, Whitstable at Gatefield Sounds, and Leeds at Jumbo Records.
My new single Summer Ghosts is out today. It addresses issues of mental health and memory and change and the strength you need to survive shit - stuff you grew up absorbing, stuff you still live with. The title comes from the Japanese tradition of ghosts appearing in summer not - as we often imagine here - in winter. It struck me as a beautiful inversion, how thoughts can haunt you when you least expect. The last verse is then set in Hull where I first met Tracey. I revisited the city in 2017 and was hit by the optimism surrounding its year as City of Culture, but was also moved by the clear scars of economic austerity and my own memories of the place. The track was also first thing I wrote for the album where I pictured the whole production concept - the driven piano trio, the trap-influenced drums, the synth drones, the cut-up samples, the dense lyrics.
