'Watching Dead Empires in Decay’, an album recorded under another of Kirby’s pseudonyms ‘The Stranger’ and released on Modern Love, a label that has been close to Kirby through these last eventful 15 years. It’s a dream album for the label: perhaps the most ambitious of Kirby’s career so far. It’s complex, singular, enigmatic, percussive, dark, and you just can’t work out how it was constructed.

Gone are the sampled 78’s of The Caretaker, but it also doesn't exactly sound electronic - you just can’t quite fathom how any of it was put together: Field Recordings? Found Sounds? Sheets of metal scraped and hammered? Drum machines re-wired? It’s stark and unsettling, haunted, even troubling - but often just beautiful.

Just for fun.

Authentic Emotion

Authentic Emotion - Demo

A track I made about 4 years ago.  Thought it would be fitting to upload after finding out about, and getting intersted in the hauntology scene.

Moonlight Serenade (Haunted)

Live recording by London Unplugged made on July 17th 2019 at The George IV, Chiswick. 
Music & lyrics by Diana Opiela

That's Alright (live at London Unplugged)

Shhh I can hear you
It’s just what I feared, you
Are open but full
I am empty but fool
And you
Are planting this tree
Seed by seed
Growing small to big wildly
And foolish me follows you
And it forests me
When I follow you
Oh it covers me
And I have good intentions with you
I have excellent intentions with you

Which I carry round with me
Whether I wanted to or did not want to

Shh can we stop
For a moment and clock
All our hours of wanting 
And wishing
And wasting this
And turn back around to be front facing
Towards and
Touching and
Reaching out
Reaching in 
And you’ll woman me
And I’ll hero you
And you’ll woman me
And I have good intentions with you
I have excellent intentions with you

Which I carry round with me
Whether I wanted to or did not want to

Shh I can hear we are creeping at snail’s pace
But my heart is running 
And tripping up
Needlessly
and my head is tugging its lead 
Trying terribly in vain to reign it back in
But you look at me 
And I look at you
And you look at me
And I have good intentions with you
I have excellent intentions with you

Which I carry round with me
Whether I wanted to or did not want to

Christmas Day (live session)

Define is inspired by the need to question the social constructs of love and romance. It’s an exploration in taking control and defining your own expectations of relationships and realising sometimes love just isn’t enough.
