Surrender Monkeys - "Westerly" (2011)

Recorded with a sickly bass guitar which was in the midst of tuning issues and an overall tinny sound which crippled some of the songs. There wasn't an overall theme with this one; I'd just moved "out west" and this collection of songs was a way of avoiding a more complex group of songs I never actually got round to completing. Despite recording issues, it has a few moments I'm really proud of ("Aftermath", "Slow Intention Killed The Game").

Hello people of SoundCloud ...

I'm in the process of uploading 3 albums worth of stuff.

Surrender Monkeys - "Fame In The Fast-Lane" (2007)

It does what it says on the tin - twelve songs all about the trials and tribulations of fame and being famous. A fairly prolific period - I churned out the songs relatively quickly and inspiration seemed to be pretty much everywhere. I visited the US mid-recording which provided a bunch of new ideas ("From Citgo to Titusville", "H is for Hollywood") and the media was rife with current celebrity meltdowns (Robbie Williams and poor old Britney).

It's got a little bit of everything really - alien encounters in the desert, ex-boy band singers, celebrity suicides, vicars killed in balloons and a tasty "night of the living dead" sample on the final track. 

I've had worse moments.
