For Neighbourhood folks, there's a new addition to the collection today, which is some unheard Gilded Cage stuff I contributed to a simulation game (it had an earlier mention on this blog). Expect detuned choral vocals and weird arps…

Alright, I’m finally crawling out from under the immune gloom of the last couple of weeks to get back on with things (photo of Unfiled at Reykjavik Art Museum in the livelier time before the gloom). I’m currently working on…

As the title suggests, there's a couple of things around The Indie Beat TV (a 24/7 music channel) for your reading and listening pleasure. The first, being electronic musician and TIBtv coordinator Lime Bar chatting about how the channel came…

We're off to a decent 2026 already, after Animation Array popped up in this CDM article about the recent MTV changes. I am currently compiling the next episode of Animation Array for broadcast, so if you've made something you'd like…

Christmas Trees was amongst the best festive songs of 2025 on Santapalooza's list! 🎅🏽

Also, here's a completely unrelated blog post about the font on a vintage Christmas light box, just because.

A festive fanks on Christmas Eve to Dubhed for their lovely write-up of Christmas Trees and the Neighbourhood, although I think they might be about to go deflate some decorations. Can't say I blame them. Peace on Earth and…

…but thankfully it's by this playlist from Fresh on the Net (which happens to include my song Christmas Trees). Perfect headphone listening for those frantic last few errands. 😬

New mix up from Simon Heartfield, which includes Ivor Cutler, These New Puritans and my track Mover. Listen below.

It's late December and Christmas Trees has just been reviewed on NHAM. Give it a read. 🎄👀

Additionally, Santapalooza gave the track a shout out earlier in the month!

Quick shout out to our radio pals Rob at Synth City for playing Christmas Trees yesterday, as well as Switzerland's Radio X on The English Show. Give them both a listen if you're about to embark on a hellish trip…

The mood is right
The song is up
On Sunday night

Christmas Trees now has a lyric video (also on PeerTube). Here you go.

Additionally, the electronic North Star of UK radio (north of the Isle of Wight anyway), Rob Harvey, has given the song a play on Synth City…

This is out today! For the tired of tinsel, the fed up of festive and the sick of Santas (adjust for your locale), it's Christmas Trees. Thanks to Christmas Underground too, who've been pretty quick off the mark with…

Happy Halloween. What could be scarier than consumerism with your own face grafted onto every product?

I can be found sharing my experiences with everyone's least favourite music listening platform, Spotify, in this recent Hearing Things article. Thanks to Ryan for talking with me.

Also, I've got some music hidden in this, a surreal…
