Delighted to announce that reworked and unheard music from Gilded Cage is appearing as a special Easter Egg in an upcoming top-down simulation game. Their demo is now online, with a full release to follow in a few months…

It's been a little quiet over here, but as the title suggests, I'm working on a new song (a few, even) in the midst of moving, plus, In Your Neighbourhood has been included on a July mixtape from NHAM featuring…

First off, delighted that my former Dark Outside contribution Murray's Theme (distantly inspired by Mort Garson and the Star Trek theme) has been on Andrew Morrison's show throughout April on Dandelion Radio. You can listen back to the show below.

Also, on the subject of synth cities, if…

Orange you glad you took some time to read this blog? Because Youth Ascension, from the album with the fright-filled front, is on Resonate's staff pick playlist for February. You can listen to this month's top of the…

Always exciting to hear a blast of In Your Neighbourhood over the airwaves, especially when it's followed up by Sufjan Stevens (probably the only time I will ever get to say that) and we're coming…

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.

Turns out that I only live a few minutes away from a real-life version of The Stars, Like Dust. There’s an extensive article here about the Isle of Wight’s role in the space race, which is amazing and kind…
