Many Thanks, William, both for listening and commenting.  The eighties was my teenage youth, so it’s definitely rubbed off on me!  I’ve released a new 4-song EP today entitled ‘The In-Between’ and am currently beavering away on the next album, which will likely see the light of day late this year.  I’m glad that it’s ticking a few boxes for you.

I really like the people here, it’s a lovely, welcoming group who are happy to share thoughts and ideas.  I’ve found the open-mic area really informative, and also really like the deals section.

Dark Mode is a free plug-in from Max Richter.

Based on the original open piano recordings of Max Richter’s Steinway Concert Grand, and processed via a curated chain of filters and EQs, the result is an already soft piano taken to the extreme – full of warmth and character, yet with very little brightness;  it’s a transparent sound designed to sit underneath.

Thank you, Tom, your words are much appreciated.  I handle all of the elements in the recording – and bass guitar isn’t my first instrument, so I go for feel more than anything.  With some songs on the album (e.g. Fireflies), I’ve gone for a synth bass, which may well scratch the itch.

I’m a huge Church fan, so it’s lovely to see that reference.  Same for the Bunneys.

There’s definitely elements of both The Cure and JD on my album ‘Night Call’, so definitely check out tracks such as ‘(We’re Lost) Forever More’ and ‘Into The Forest’, I reckon that they’ll be right up your street, Tom.

Excellent!  Thank you.  I’m just back from an open-mic, so this is timely!

I can’t see the right-hand sidebar, though I’m currently on my phone, so will switch to checking out the site on my laptop tomorrow.

As for the band, there’s just me.  I do everything.  I’ve learnt a ton of stuff – not least Ableton, which was initially an uphill struggle, but also website design, digital distribution, CD/LP design, promo videos, the whole lot.  Not that I’m complaining, I thoroughly enjoy most of it.

Truly, the hardest thing is getting people to listen – so I really appreciate you posting my music on your site.

If there’s anyone who would like a free download of the new album, I have about half a dozen codes to give away, just DM me.

Thanks.
