I live in a rural district called Fenland in Cambridgeshire, England, it is very flat and everything stretches as far as the eye can see.
The cover photo was taken of the sky one evening whilst I was out walking my dogs. 

Guitar used:
Gibson Les Paul Studio.

The guitar tone was created using ToneX and a Two Rock Classic Reverb Special amp capture.
The ambient fx's were created using Line 6 Helix Native. 
There's also some tape flutter added on the master track! 📼

Fenland Skies

Fumbling Around (In The Dark)

This is the latest song from the album Wou-Wou & the Wormling, Stricknice, Bitzone, and I have been working on. Like all the rest of the songs in the set, this one began during the start of the pandemic and reflects the changes in political perspective that were happening in society, and continue to this day. And, as with the other songs, I started this song with an unreleased demo from Wou-Wou and created a 1 minute outline which I then often passed on to a guest collaborator. When it came time to fully work on the track, I expanded on the original idea, along with the guest collaborator stems, until a full song was arranged. I then passed the bones and organs of the song to Stricknice and Bitzone to add any additional muscles and flesh they believed in until it was finished. I am so blessed to work with Wou-Wou, Bitzone, Stricknice, and all the guest collaborators on this inspired set, that one day will be complete. 

May everyone find something authentic to themselves to believe in.

Lyrics:

Looking for a new day
Looking for a new way to pray
Looking for a new way to say
I need something to believe in

Waiting for the next season
Waiting for a better reason
Waiting for some cohesions
In my something to believe in

Searching for another chapter
Searching for another answer
Searching for the here after
To give me something to believe in

Oh oh lord
You’re no more
The savior oh

Praying for a true sign
Praying for not to resign
Praying that any divine
Has something for me to believe in

Been out there but it’s freezing
Been out there but it’s displeasing
Been out there now releasing
My reason for something to believe in

There’s nothing in the wind speaking
There’s nothing in the house creaking
There’s nothing for the sinned seeking
For there’s nothing left to believe in

Oh oh lord
You’re no more
The savior oh

Oh oh lord
You’re no more
The savior oh

Reborn but still
Still worn out for real
Forlorn with no goodwill
Forgotten like landfill
Discarded until rotten
Downtrodden turned to God and
Abandoned I turn to
The concerns of the spurned few
True or is it not true
It is what we’ve been through
When all has been lost to
Those others who sin too
Grew up with a promise
Now there’s thieves up upon us
Asking who can we turn to
To return to us what’s due
I shouted but nobody
Listened I doubted
And then somebody heard
Just wanted to be devoted
So a savior got stirred
For a favor his word
With our promise to help turn
The truth to be blurred

When will there be a new leader
When will there be a new preacher
When will there be my savior
To tell me what I should believe in

Looking for a new day
Looking for a new way to pray
Looking for a new way to say
I need something to believe in

Oh oh lord
You’re no more
The savior oh

Something To Believe In

Mayor of Donutville, Stricknice, Bitzone, Wou-Wou & CKP - Something To Believe In

(Free WAV Download available here under '••• More'; and eventually as part of my Foul Weather Friends album)

Greetings to the SC community. Today I'm excited to share installment #5 in the ever-expanding collection of Stone Catcherye/GrevusAnjl collaborations. Stoney (https://soundcloud.com/stonecatcherye, https://stonecatcherye.bandcamp.com/) is a joy to work with. He's a wellspring of thought provoking musical ideas. And his lyrical messages are next level stuff (in my humble opinion). :)

This song's message really resonates with me (and I suspect it will for many of you as well). It's about that internal conflict between wanting to remain peaceful amidst the chaos, and wanting to scream and rage at all the ugliness. And then of course, wondering if any of it makes a difference anyway.

I personally think it does (and I have a feeling Stoney agrees).

But I also feel like the value of the high road is not always immediately evident. In reality, I feel like the high road is the far more difficult path, because it flies in the face of the ego (and that little fellow loves to be right). 

The problem is the ripple effect. Using 20 year old, ‘angry at the world’ Justin as an example… sure, everyone clearly understood my point. They also knew I was hot-headed, venomous, and worth avoiding… and that is the element that sticks for most people; “not what you said or did… but how you made them feel.” (quote by Maya Angelou).

So, while the desire to lash out at the world (as self-vindication) seems enticing to the ego… it’s gonna burn you in the long run. When I have the wisdom to not engage in conflict, the win isn’t always immediately evident… but it shows up in the peace that follows; not because I gave in to the battle, but because I had the wisdom to not start a war. And that might be key to our survival in this new and confusing world; having the wisdom and compassion to work toward peaceful ends… even if it means letting the ego take a bruising once in a while.

So without further ado… Stoney and I offer you our latest sonic creation, ‘Silent Riot’. We hope you enjoy. :)

Lyrics:

like I don't have enough to surrender
it is all I had to not remember

silence is violence
silence is violent
silence is violence
silence...

compound of the profound
riot of the silent
playground of the renowned
try it, just be quiet

we don't want to hear it
we're tired of the bullshit
we won't ever submit
shut it!

I should learn to control this needy temper
maybe then, my friend, I'll find my center

center....
center....

compound of the profound
riot of the silent
playground of the renowned
try it, just be quiet

we don't want to hear it
we're tired of the bullshit
we won't ever submit
shut it!

silent, my riot
silent not quiet
silence is violence
silence is violent

F.W. Friends

Further From The Grave

This is our second single off our mini album The Serenity Of Fractured Beauty available on all streaming services. 
As I’ve got older and especially after losing a close friend so quickly from a diagnosis it makes me think how close are we actually to the grave.
Life as many twists and turns and nothing can be predicted. The only thing that is certain is that we will past at anytime or any date eventually. 
We try to change by eating better and getting more exercise but change is brutal. We slip back into our old ways because really that’s what makes us comfortable and content. 
As you get older you realise that you are not invincible like you felt when you were young but more vulnerable as the years tick by. As we  get more older we get more nostalgic and look back on our lives maybe with rose tinted glasses. 

Further From The Grave 

V1
My worldview of a moment of pure magnitude 
I’m blowing  around the world like tumble weed 
I know we  wanna change without the self help book 
But change is brutal and we need a party out look 

Chorus 
So Don’t be scared you are here with me 
And I’ll protect you from the evils of the world you see
Don’t be scare you are here with me 
And I hope I’m a lot further from the grave at this tender & treacherous age


V2 
Everything spins on the value of a penny 
When it’s in your hands it buys you nothing of many 
When out of places to run then we will just have stop to choose one 
And head for the shade of the midday burning sun 


Chorus 
So Don’t be scared you are here with me 
And I’ll protect you from the evils of the world you see
And I hope I’m a lot further from the grave at this tender & treacherous age

Outro
I hope I’m a lot further x4
From the grave 
At this tender and treacherous age

Further From The Grave - Conscience Of Kings

Let them rest, let them rest their heads
Let them breathe from the streams and the rivers up ahead
Let them rest, let them rest their heads
Float with the flys and moths 
To the endless swamp bed

Handstand in the birdhouse triangle 
Hearts laid down on the sandy bank
Footsteps past the forgotten road
Warm cold breeze..
Warm cold breeze, 3 hearts rest please

Left with the wind, the sun and the moon
I love you, I’ll see you soon
Left with the wind, the sun and the moon
Be free, I’ll see you soon


Rest easy…

||| We're Square |||
From the album White Noise 
+ Releases 15 October 2025 on all major streaming platforms +
A downtempo, ambient soundtrack, exploring the subtle nature of things...
Sometimes we take things and people for granted.
Sometimes we scatter our energy too far
And fail to appreciate that which is closest to us..
Things get dirty / broken / cracked from lack of care
And before you know it, that prize you once valued has become something ugly.
Sometimes neglect hurts more than a person will show...
They will just turn their back,
Walk away
And disappear quietly from your life.
No drama,
No words,
Just silence. 

Like a piece of slow decay
Slow
Decay

You can't lose what you don't have
You can't lose what you don't have anyway

lyrics:
Since we started, we had a long way from home
now never departed, we have to stand tall
Never let it down, no threat from the wind
rain or thunder nor from any evil seed

Always i wonder, what's next on the line
this daily life plunders whatever vital that shines 

i keep on dreamin' aiming high
but this weird feeling shutters my mind

but if i'm keeping all worries behind
i should remain believin', relentless will for life to find

fightin' for no reason, ain't gonna give me peace of mind
feeding my ego, had lost so much precious time

Now it's the right time, to think what's next
healing this heart and let the mind to rest

SPREAD THE WORD!!!

NOISE MAN

This song was written whilst on one of many walks in a nature reserve that stretches along the edge of my suburb in Sydney, and on these many walks I would stretch my mind with the end of getting my music making partner back again.... which I did.

When you have counted
The reasons why
Checked them all over
And over again
Not missing any
Reiterated
Contemplated

Throw them all away
Judge and jury on your side
Could be a brand new day
Doesn't have to mean
You were not right

We had it all
Laid out in court
The crimes were clear
Right there to see
Malevolence
Unjustified
No provocation
As you can see

Throw it all away
Judge and jury on your side
Could be a brand new day
Doesn't have to mean
You were not right

Hysteria is blinding
So can be love
But who's to say
What's there to see
Cause every person
Sees these things a little bit
Differently

Brand New Day

The Wall of Silence ...The Wall of Lies...

If you stand there silently while the storm rages on the horizon,
If you stand there, saying nothing, while your fellow human beings are falling, being murdered, tortured, raped, imprisoned, poisoned, while the earth is burning, while all humanity is threatened and you continue to stand there, saying nothing and without doing anything!
What will you do when you are all alone and without hope in your bunker with your gold and your billions?

Le Mur du Silence... Le Mur des Mensonges...

Si vous restez là, silencieux, pendant que la tempête fait rage à l'horizon,
Si vous restez là, sans rien dire, pendant que vos semblables tombent, sont assassinés, torturés, violés, emprisonnés, empoisonnés, pendant que la terre brûle, pendant que toute l'humanité est menacée et que vous continuez à rester là, sans rien dire et sans rien faire !
Que ferez-vous lorsque vous serez tout seul et sans espoir dans votre bunker avec votre or et vos milliards ?

Destination

Sometimes our path, or journey as it were, leads us to an edge. Edges of self, life, circumstances, reality, cliffs, you name it… Some edges are dangerous, sharp and jagged, even life threatening. Other edges encourage us to traverse them. Back in the 1970’s, there was this great sand cliff we used to go to, in Northern Europe, where we could run and hurl ourselves off of it and land in the water below. It was exhilarating, as the hang time allowed for contemplation in the moment, during the free fall. It felt like we were flying like the bluebirds in the sky. At the base of the cliff, we hung out by the water. We were mostly unfamiliar with the freedoms we had found there. Harry ran off and intentionally lost his swim trunks on the beach, while chasing after a beautiful woman who herself was sans swimsuit. He was in love with her. She had other ideas. He was drinking heavily, then he passed out, ass up in the sand, under the blazing sun, after making a fool of himself. It was a sad moment all around. By the time we found him, he had a bad sunburn. Poor guy. Could hardly sit down. A bunch of us were camped in the forest, not far from the cliffs. That night, I was sitting by the fire next to a wild-eyed woman and asked her something in another language. She blew smoke in my face and laughed nervously as if taunting a bear. Then she kissed me. We all seemed to be chasing after a freedom that did not exist in this life, at least for us. Some of us would later die trying to find that same freedom. For some strange reason I survived. We were wild back then and maybe always will be. This song contains some of that freedom among other things.

lyrics:
Hear my body scream, hear my soul is weak, i can't control anymore
i tried to set it free, i tried to tame this freak, but it's up to self control

and i will never learn and trust is hard to earn
as i lose my self again...

Bright lights calling me, neon life sets me free and i am right here to stay
The sun rise up again and i still understand the dues we have to pay
