‘Sunset Thinking’ was written and recorded by myself and Jon in the summer of 2023. Genre-wise I'm calling it 'Post-Yacht' but then, I'm an idiot. 

Every element of it, as with all our stuff, is home-recorded, mixed, produced, mastered, sleeve-designed, “promoted” and released by our very own clammy little paws. We remain proudly DIY even if we don’t sound like Shellac. Which, much to my consternation, we do not.

What we didn't make was the beautiful accompanying video by our good friend lejuanix. Check it out, it’s perfect.

'Sunset Thinking’ is my attempt to depict the experience of someone who finds themselves in the role of carer, in a situation where they believed they were a partner, a friend, or family member. It’s a song about dealing with the frustration which arises from trying to help someone suffering with mental health issues. It’s about the strain of attempting to show someone the value in the small, beautiful moments in life. It’s about the tiny victories these wonderful people achieve when they can show you the light coming in through the cracks, if only for a moment.

I’ve been lucky enough to know people like this.  I hope I was able to capture some small part of their experience.


‘Sunset Thinking’ is a hymn to the people who help you when you can’t help yourself, those who stand by you when you can’t stand, the people who show patience and kindness and ask nothing in return.

Thank you.

For those on the other side of the coin, the side I know best: 

When you’re at your lowest and fear there is no-one there for you, there is. When you are down and believe you can’t get back up, you can. When you think there is no way to continue, there is a way.

There is always someone who cares. 

There’s another single coming in May. It’s a disco banger about a haunted music box. I’m not joking.

Keep It Weird

Sunset Thinking (Single Edit)

Recorded in January 2006 as part of the Replugged in New Cross compilation release that same year.  Our usual gig-opening track referring to the Fordham Park Festival of old.

Can't Kill The Spirit

Save My Sister

“On the day they closed the line
It was to be the end
No resurrection of the palace was what you could depend
The fire, the war,the changing times,they felt the hate 
While locking up Italia subway gate.

On the day they closed the line 
The hall was not repaired 
Became a damaged,children's playground 
And they so little cared 
The dares of teenage highs,they climbed the girder domes
For those unhurt they went back to their homes.

The tracks are gone
The platforms,there 
Along the high retaining wall
The arches,bare
The Paxton end
Imposing fear
From staring deep and wide into that tunnel 
The darkness inside 
crystal clear
The memories of yesteryear at end 
You cannot see the light,inside there is a bend.

Now the day has so long passed
Beneath, transmission waves
They tore the big old station down
The land became a slave 
Devoid of all imagination in a way
Amongst the history, a place to live and stay.

The tracks are gone
All traces,here
Along the high retaining wall
The arches,bare
The Paxton end
No more to fear 
They closed the hole with ugly,big iron gates 
And locked inside 
It's crystal clear
The memories and dreams all disappear.....
As they replace it all,with bittersweet veneers…”
