It appears that a whole month has gone by. Here are a few notable things that have cheered me up and cheered me on in recent weeks.

• Gaining some Electronic Ears to go with my electronic fingers.
• Ottawa Shortwave on…

What's that, you say? The splendid Dark Outside label is releasing BLACK ARROW and ETHER/ORBIT together on a special dual colour cassette?


That's right! Tapes will be limited to 100 copies, so make sure you set your alarm for launch…

From High Down to Huygens, it's been exciting (not to mention a nice surprise) to see the new collaboration between Electronic Sound magazine and globe-spanning field recording project Cities and Memory. The new issue features an interview with Cities…

When everything has felt firmly glued to the spot (and the sofa at certain points), I'd like to say thank you to everyone who joined me for a trip into space, with a special nod to Wavegirl, Simon and…

No boiled eggs or turkeys here. The Delia and Wendy-inspired Retrophonica (which includes my track Like Clockwork) is number 10 in Electronic Sound's top compilations of the year! Brian Eno's on there too, which is nice.

In case you missed it (or I did), I was delighted to talk to the audio production platform SoundGym about budgie heads, flamingos and also non-bird-related matters, like how I like to work through songs and recounting my time…

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…

With conversations forming around algorithmic bias and the skewed payment models of larger streaming services, what viable alternatives are on offer for musicians and listeners?

Journalist and filmmaker Hazel Sheffield explores one such option, Resonate, which also includes a…

I've just seen that it's National Pet Day, which is a great day to be a good boy. 

Milo the chihuahua features in the new video for ‘The Stars, Like Dust’ and The Most Radicalist wrote an excellent little review …

Really enjoyed talking to @styleofsound about the nature of silence, horror synths and a few of my favourite Isle of Wight haunts. Have a read.

Thanks to @yesnomusic for letting me blast off about nostalgia gone awry in the night sky.

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.

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.

A giant star-sized thanks to Breaking More Waves blog for waxing lyrical on waxing moons and ambient antimatter. Nice mention of The Dark Outside too.

Read it here. 

Above is one of the original album cover ideas for Gilded Cage by photographer and visual collaborator @zomtographer after a day spent building, cladding and furnishing a retro living room set, long before pink carpets and orange curtains became the…

Waving off 2017 with the album faves of Breaking More Waves. A sea of thanks to Robin for placing Gilded Cage at number 15 and sea/see you in 2018.

As well as being a super world indie tune, ’In Your Neighbourhood’ has made Dope Cause We Said’s end of year playlist! Go here to lend it your ears.

Nice picture of a building found on this person’s…

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

For desert island doom, Simpsons characters as musical references and a sad tale about my dashed hopes of becoming a sign painter, head over to More Than The Music to read the questions that I answered for their Fast Five…

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

Watch ‘In Your Neighbourhood’ on HighClouds now.
