Description: Here's live performance of a cover of David Bowies Starman that was recorded at St Johns Minster in Preston as part of the Soundbytes Celestial Sessions. It was a lovely space to perform in and the grand piano in there is beautiful. Muchus mucho thanks and applause to Andy Lyth for his accordion work.

This John Cage homage is my favourite bit of the piece.

Attacker

Taken from the debut album "The Limber Real" (out on Feb 12, 2016 via Tambourhinoceros).

Lyrics:
Where do these white chalk lines come from 
That separate us as we run
Around this track
Too short and narrow

We've never melted into one 
I doubt it ever has been done 
We only rake
We never harrow 

We keep our lanes around the track 
We look to our sides and back 

We run together 
Dearest friends 
And one can hope 
Right till the end 
And we can touch 
But never blend

Pre-order album

EXEC - The Explanatory Gap

Danny Green of Laish/We Come Alive speaks: 
I drew up a list of musical friends and heroes and asked each one to submit a cover song chosen by someone else on that list. I love hearing good covers, it is such an interesting process seeing how people approach performing and recording someone else's material. I also wanted be part of bringing together the musical community that surrounds and inspires me through running We Come Alive shows in London.

Original version of Tell Me: alabasterdeplume.bandcamp.com/track/02-tell-me

Initially around 20 songwriters and bands agreed to participate. As I write this, 15 tracks have been recorded and I absolutely love them! The collection is an incredibly enjoyable, surprising, varied set of songs and I would like to begin sharing them in instalments as they are worthy of taking time to savour. More tracks are due to appear soon, including recordings by Willy Mason, David Thomas Broughton and This is The Kit.

All things water - CC2

All the preset drum loops from a crappy Bontempi drum machine we found in a cupboard. Theres something kind of magical about the punchy flapping of its astonishing lo-fi shitness! A few have backing tracks included.

Download them for free and use them however you want. Or don't. It makes no difference to us. You can roll them up and smoke them for all we care.
