New Album! Phone Recordings

23 phone recordings with 3 bonus video tracks. Get it here.

Recorded over the course of 6 years in between other performances, tours, club nights, a pandemic and work commitments, these songs share in common the expression of a ‘complete statement’.

I really love these collections of songs for their rawness and immediacy, much more direct than my other music.

Phone Recordings is inspired by albums like Prince’s posthumous, Piano and A Microphone 1983 (which has a beautifully nascent rendition of ‘Purple Rain’), Beck’s One Foot in the Grave or one of Kurt Cobain’s last known recordings outside a Nirvana release, “Do Re Mi” – that particular song is arguably one of the best songs he wrote. Particularly raw and sad knowing it was recorded a few days before he died.

You can get Phone Recordings on my Bandcamp here.
