What Happens Now

Let's Do It

Produced at the recording space of beloved Bristol venue The Louisiana with Alfie-Tyson Browne (Langkamer, Katy J Pearson and Saloon Dion), the track zones in on an anonymous free-spirited protagonist wandering in the Welsh countryside, as the band’s lead vocalist/guitarist ‘Smudge’ explains:

“This song is the colours you see in an altered state and about the experience of that particular journey. I wrote this because I watched a video of this Welsh guy probably near to where I’m from. He basically walked his dog up a hill and took some mushrooms from the surrounding field and it looked like he was having a good time. ‘Magic Hill” is now for him.”

On 26 June 2024, Bristol-based contemporary folk project Fritillaries will release Thank God I Have The Songs (Cuculi Records), launching a new era for songwriter Hannah Pawson as a solo artist. Following widespread praise for her self-titled debut album in 2022, including Folk Radio’s Album of the Month and a nomination for FATEA’s Debut Album of the Year, this highly anticipated second release was recorded in collaboration with producer Rowan Elliott (Tamsin Elliott & Tarek Elazhary/Hands of the Heron) at The Roost in Bristol.

‘June’ is about the conflicting emotions of seeking solitude amidst darkness whilst simultaneously craving authentic connection.

It’s shaped by me growing up in Lithuania, surrounded by experimental rock and underground electronic music, and the evocative tradition of sung poetry.

A few drops of light D&B with the usual Grubby twists, and a film sample you probably won't recognise (can you guess what it is?!)

Close My Eyes

The new single from Catford Gyrations will be released on 28th June 2024, and includes the first brand new material since last year's eponymous debut album.

This 2 track single is available to stream across all major platforms, and can also be downloaded via Bandcamp.

The space age electronic pop of "Land of 1000 presets" draws heavily from charity shop curios of yesteryear. Despite it's apparent analogue facade, it's an ode to how modern technology has provided access a vast library of virtual instruments that would have previously been unaffordable and taken up far too much room in my house. The track doesn't actually contain 1000 presets. It's probably more like a dozen or so, and I may have fiddled with some of the parameters.

We Could All Be A Bit Nicer To Each Other
