I used to think I was doing well to write and record one song a month (it's a hobby) but since lockdown I joined a Glasgow songwriting group, who seek to extract from you at least one a week, which has lead to rocketing productivity and nose-diving quality.

You can tell I was listening to some 80's modernist brutalism during the week.
