Great to see The Wire Magazine and a closer listen digging in to the Cities & Memory #SpaceIsThePlace project. If you’d like to do the same, you can listen via Bandcamp.

Exciting to see the Cities & Memory #SpaceIsThePlace project receiving support from The Guardian, The Quietus, Bluedot Festival and even the European Space Agency. The long-running field recording project brought together artists from all over the world to rework sounds from space in celebration of the anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and I contributed a track called ‘Huygens’ which uses an alien weather signal as its foundation.

The picture above is a small disc that was left behind from the Apollo 11 mission to the moon containing messages and sounds of goodwill from Earth. It has a fascinating story which you can read about here.

The Stars, Like Dust is the first song in space (if space is a DOPECAUSEWESAID playlist)! Click here to listen.

Eye/I can name that tuna in one! It's The Stars, Like Dust, rounded up among this week's music video picks from The Devil Has The Best Tuna.

Beaming more "ominous organs" and sombre space dust out of your screen, thanks to Fifteen.Gallery.

Thrilled to see ‘The Stars, Like Dust’ playlisted on @Radio3FACH alongside lots of great music like Jon Hopkins and Beach House! View the playlist and tune in here.

Those stars at DOPECAUSEWESAID have made The Stars, Like Dust their video of the week and I'm over the moon! ⭐

Galactic gratitude to Mark from Electronic North for this astronomically good review of The Stars, Like Dust. Still taken by @zomtographer.

Thanks to Eleanor from One More Open Heart music blog for getting lost in space with us. Read what she had to say about new video The Stars, Like Dust here.

Well, Dr. Dog is pleased as a puppet to be a super world indie dog. Read what SWIT had to say about his mission into space.

We have lift off! Watch the brand new video for The Stars, Like Dust now, taken from the album Gilded Cage. Directed by @zomtographer with camera co-pilot Tim Connell. Album available on vinyl and CD here.

Hurtling to Earth tomorrow at 10am (UK time), watch the space-themed video for The Stars, Like Dust, directed by my friend @Zomtographer, or get it sent directly to your inbox.

The Stars, Like Dust is taken from the album Gilded Cage, available now from Bandcamp on vinyl, CD and in various digital formats.

Detuned doom in a darkened room awaits. Hear an unreleased song on this magnificent cassette release from The Dark Outside!

Pleased to be adding some mildly threatening (and previously unreleased) wailing to this wondrous cassette release from @thedarkoutside. Fans of mysterious broadcasts in the woods and tape player owners, stay tuned.

I hope you asked Father Christmas for a Bandcamp gift card this year, as Gilded Cage is now available on CD from Bandcamp (and subscribers get 20% off all physical merch)!

If you’re wondering about the availability of a physical version of ‘Gilded Cage’, then you’ve come to the right update. Currently, vinyl is still in production, but as soon as it’s here it’ll be going up on Bandcamp and, if you’re a subscriber, you can get 20% off. 

Secondly, a few of you have asked for CDs and whilst a record is a beautiful object, you’re right, it’s quite hard to listen to in the car, so I’ve had a limited number of CDs made and they should be here within the next two weeks! Thanks to @zomtographer for the artwork for those.

Lastly, thank you for your patience and encouraging comments. I took this picture a few weeks ago, as both the sticker and the context seem quite fitting for anyone doing a creative project or making music independently. We are all this motorhome.

I spoke to the wonderful We Are Cult about confidence, Blancmange, grunting and, err, metal detectors. Read the full interview here.

Massive thanks to Patrick Mahan for adding 'In Your Neighbourhood' to his Heavy Rotation and Spankin' New playlists and brightening up this dreary Monday.

‘In Your Neighbourhood’ is on this week’s magnificent HighClouds Spotify playlist, alongside FKL, Björk, Arca, Röyksopp and Robyn. You can listen here.

Way up in the digital sky, a puppet band, a watchful eye. 

Watch ‘In Your Neighbourhood’ on HighClouds now.

Thought I’d post this today because Xune Mag and Pavillonn really know their onions. In Your Neighbourhood features on both of their Spotify playlists! You can listen here and here and think about onions, if you like.

Big thanks to Mark and Right Chord Music for adding ‘In Your Neighbourhood’ to the Lost On Radio playlist.

Hearse-ing around and reposting a 1953 doom cruiser because this heading from Super World Indie Tunes really made me laugh. Thanks to Tom for the kind words about In Your Neighbourhood.

If, like me, you float between the digital world and the tangible world, you can get hold of new album Gilded Cage and every single digital Curxes release for £20, plus 20% off physical merch like CDs and vinyl. Read more over at Bandcamp.

If you’re into raindrop keyboards and unicorn funerals, you can read an in-depth gilded page about new album ‘Gilded Cage’, thanks to those all round champs DOPECAUSEWESAID. You can also read about the influence of horror soundtracks on the album and my failed career as a saxophonist in this earlier interview on their site.
