Compilation appearances / Video clips

Thanks to those who came out for the Leeds show other month was great to play and see everyone.

I did a very short video with the clips I was sent on Instagram (Thanks Andy, Anna, Pete, and others I'd forgotten)

 

And uploaded the last of the Cycle videos I did back in pandemic time

Also two appearances on two very different compilations

Feral Tape

 New release out now on Un Poco Fria

 

This is the diffinative edition of the previous digital only release of Feral Tape. Containing recordings between 2013 and 2019, it's been expanded in 2024, mastered by Grant Richardson (Hex Audio Labs), and given the first class treatment by Un Poco Fria from Yakima, Washington, USA. I'm really pleased to have this one finally released. Limited copies still available at time of writing with the label.

2024 review and news

A sum up of 2024.

Live: No gigs in 2024, I plan to change this in '25, but the main focus has been recording new materials and learning new audio gear. 

Recordings: I've been recording, editing a bit, but nothing has been released this year. In 2025 a issue/re-issue of Feral Tape is planned. But I'll a post more on this when it's out.

Best of 2024: (aka a list of records that came out this year / experiences / reissues that really stood out over the last year, in no order at all), I spent a good afternoon looking through all the CDs, LPs, tapes and Bandcamp digital downloads I can remember. I'll probably spend too long on this as per usual and then miss something off by accident.

2024 updates

Just posting a quick note to say BBBlood / I am still active. Normally I've only have limited time to recording / producing noise, but I'm working towards a new record which I hope will surface in 2025.

Samples, why not? Here's a clip of something WIP that I uploaded to Soundcloud.
