Beautiful track, love the arrangement, you have an expressive, fragile vocal. Nice work :)

The first year at the University of Glamorgan, probably late 2002. I only attended 3 lectures or so my entire career, preferring instead to plumb the depths of my soul and examine my mind from both micro and macro viewpoints, like a man standing between 2 parallel mirrors. After doing something that tends to keep you awake for too long, then doing it again, again, & then again. A marathon. 3 days later and still no sleep, a spider absailed down the curtains in my Halls cell-like box room. For some reason this produced an intense few hours of nightmarish arachnids lurking on ceiliings, chasing me down corridors, webs thick across the common room. God knows what I looked like, tearing wild-eyed past the silent doored & slumbering student rooms. Eventually managing to wake Matt, Apprentice Green's drummer, multi-instrumentalist & all round good egg. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the spider invasion had not occurred & I had not, in fact, been whisked off as the Devil's plaything to the caverns of Hell. Even the original rappelling spider was actually a bit of fluff suspended on a thread of curtain material. Ah well. Stay in school kids. 

The song was written a year or so later, morphing through a few forms. Special mention goes to Brummy's loping bassline & Matt's guitar overdubs. All recreated here. I have no idea how I wrote the piano riff. Probably just mashed the keys until it sounded good. Much like I do now.

'Picture of You' revolves around creating an idealised image of somebody based on interactions through a phone screen rather than meeting them in person. The idea of a meet cute is ancient history thanks to various dating apps that have become available.

This song acts as a poignant commentary on how digital platforms have transformed the landscape of romance. While they offer new opportunities for connection, they also challenge us to consider the value of authenticity and genuine human interaction in building meaningful relationships.

Picture of You

Thurston's Nightmare

This track encapsulates the endless times I have been haunted by sleep paralysis. I've often woken up to a lifeless body, unable to move, speak or scream combined with the sensation that something horrible and otherworldly is lurking over me.
On occasions the room has turned blood red and I've felt like I've been dragged down the side of my bed. Or, I've seen shadow-like figures in the crevices of my room.
When it happens I feel this force trying to pull me back into a slumber, however I fear that if I fall back to sleep I will die and so I just try to keep calm and stay awake.
Sometimes I have to get into bed with my mum because of how terrified I am, which is a bit embarrassing to admit to at 25 years old...


Jodie Langford - I See Only Red

With a vocal that's raw and honest, B of Briz confronts and consoles in this alt hip hop contemplation. In this melancholic retrenchment with a driving bassline, B asks: what happens when stuff’s gone really badly wrong? How do we resist and recover and regroup?  With broken beats, 'Profoundly sick society' is a dark and dystopic acknowledgment that's also full of hope.

Afrotrip

I like the 9 to 5
Putting it all on the hard drive
I like the 6 to 10
I watch a movie and then
I goto bed at 11
Pray to the folks who art in heaven
From midnight till 3
I pray for those in purgatory
From 4 o'clock to 8
I pray for those for whom prayers came too late

24 Hour Clock

this song is all about knowing your self worth, and recognising when you’re in a rut

How Did it Go So Wrong

Pet Twin is the tomb by the sounding sea. A home in the middle of the storm for your ghosts and mine. We will meet each other in tidal dreams until the end of time. Always, I am your sea.

Wondering…
