Dream Spaghetti (FAWM Demo)

"Immediacy" by Echo Machine, released March 29th 2023. 

From the band's ALMOST finished 2nd album. 

A song about overstimulation and the effects it has on our wee monkey brains.

Take It To The Streets (Radio Edit)

Sweet Like Rosa

Stay This Way was not a song intended for me, but after a session with Kevin Hutchens in LA, me in London, I knew that I couldn't let it go. 
A song recorded in the legendary Strongroom Studios, London where the likes of Anne-Marie, Olivia Rodrigo, the Spice Girls have written and recorded, Stay This Way came to life. 
I am thrilled to be embarking on a full UK tour after a sold-out show in London in May post the release of Where Do I Lay All The Love I Have Left dropped.

"Grog" LP Out Nov 17th: bit.ly/FrogGrogInfoPage

Brothers Danny & Steve Bateman return with their fifth album “Grog.” This collection of gorgeous Indie Americana is full of the nostalgia, hope, defeat and lust that earned previous singles “Judy Garland” and “You Know I’m Down” several million streams on Spotify.

Eclectic and wildly creative, this fully realized LP veers from the gorgeous grooving funk of “Black on Black on Black” to the classic pop of “Maybelline” before “New Ro” exemplifies the “gothic and cartoonish” characteristics that songwriter Daniel Bateman describes his latest work with.

Artist Quote:

“There are really exciting places we were able to get to on this record, places that I didn’t know existed before I found them. It feels both gothic and cartoonish to me, big gargoyles, dark skies, storms, but the statues are of ‘Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.’ Every song is a step deeper into the abyss.” - Daniel Bateman (Frog)

Press Quotes:

“I was taken aback by its apparent simplicity; a simplicity that at first masked a wealth of subtle nuances, wry homages, and nostalgic narratives that were enough to make listeners lament growing up anywhere other than suburban America.” – The Line of Best Fit

“Locked between the unstoppable force of self-deprecation and the immovable object of the American Dream.” – Various Small Flames

“A subtle, stunning triumph.” – For the Rabbits

“Utterly brilliant...they make you nostalgic for memories you never had and take you back to places you’ve never before been.” - London in Stereo
