My new album ‘Burmo’ will be released on CD and streaming platforms on Friday, November 14th 2025 and is available to pre-order now.

I took my time writing and arranging these songs. I wanted to create a world in an album: somewhere melodic and transporting, that would reward anyone kind enough to listen .

It’s deliberately wide-ranging, an album that worships the White Album’s head-spinning variety, and is happy to fall on its face in an attempt to reach for those dizzying heights. At the album’s core is a homage to the classical guitar, an instrument I fell in love with as a child, my gateway drug to everything that has followed.

There are lysergic folk songs - Hazy River pt 1 and Hazy River pt 2 - that are a progression from my previous album… there’s a song suite (the title track) celebrating Morricone, Wings and the classical guitar… there are evocations of Love, Elliott Smith and Pixes on ‘Abalone’; a love letter to The Stone Roses on ‘Palm house’; and an off kilter pop song, channeling early King Crimson that mutates into a shoegaze dub meltdown, ‘Feverfew’.

I wanted to make an album that sounded like finding a shoebox filled with old photos and the flotsam and jetsam of life that I really care about.… a jumble of memories, places, emotions and sounds.

The album is rooted in the Clwydian hills, in memories of Nannerch and Mold, with diversions to Blaenau Ffestiniog, Sefton Park in Liverpool and Caego, on the outskirts of Wrexham.

‘Burmo’ was an insult when I was at the Alun school in Mold in the 80’s. Anything that was deemed uncool was ‘burmo’. It was Clarks Commandos; non-white socks; corduroy trousers; Mike Read; dinner time chess club; Dire Straits instead of The Jam; NHS specs and books instead of comics.

I was ‘burmo’. I still am ‘burmo’… but now - in middle age - it’s glorious to feel unapologetic about it.

The first recording sessions for ‘Burmo’ were in May 2023, with Russ Hayes (Kidsmoke, Peaness, Catfish and the Bottlemen) at Orange Sound Studios in Penmaenmawr. We recorded the live acoustic guitar and vocal takes that are the spine of the album, and then came back to the arrangements once a month to embellish outwards. ‘Burmo’ is a much more fully realised album than anything I’ve released before. A real trip for the ears.

My good friend, Martin Carr - polymath, musical visionary and - in a previous life - the chief songwriter in The Boo Radleys - produced the first half of ‘feverfew’, re-imagining the song as skipping, synth-driven electro. It’s humbling for me that Martin collaborates on the album because The Boo Radley’s 1993 magnum opus ‘Giant Steps’ has been a huge inspiration to me over the last 30+ years.

Rachel Williams - drummer with the fantastic indie pop band Peaness - drums on ‘burmo’, ‘hillside’ and is sampled in the coda of ‘feverfew’.

All other instruments are played by me.

The album is available from all the usual streaming / download outlets from Friday 14th November 2025, and as limited edition gatefold CD (300 copies) from bandcamp.

\\ this is my very first recorded live set—completely improvised and dawless \\ i kept it super minimal with just two synths: the OP-XY and the Moog Labyrinth \\ everything was controlled through my custom MIDI controller (MC8P) and mixed on a tiny TX-6 portable mixer \\ no edits, no plan—just raw grooves, evolving patterns, and a few happy accidents along the way \\

\\ the vibe? \\ dark, raw, industrial, and fuzzy \\ think gritty textures, hypnotic rhythms, and a few happy accidents that make it feel alive \\

\\ if you’re into stripped-back hardware jams with a moody edge, give it a spin and let me know what you think \\

The Immediate are a three-piece indie, power pop band from Mold in north Wales.

We release our Mold EP on Friday 3rd March 2017. The EP will be available to buy on limited edition CD and digitally via bandcamp / iTunes etc.

Mold features 4 brand new recordings, 3 of which are exclusive to the EP.

Lead track, What’s The Matter Kevin Jones?, is a song about some of the kids we went to the Alun School with, who weren’t as fortunate as us and didn’t make it into their 30’s. 

Light Dimensions is the first song we wrote when we reconvened after a long hiatus.

Manbuoy is the title track of our forthcoming debut album, however it does not feature on the album itself. It’s a mostly spoken-word piece that exaggerates all of its writer’s worst qualities.

Mold was recorded at Orange Sound Studios in Penmaenmawr, North Wales by Russ Hayes, who has worked on recordings by Peaness, Campfire Social, Kidsmoke, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Billy Bibby and the Wry Smiles.

The sleeve design was done by Paul Maurice from Wrexham. It’s a detail of Shire Hall, the brutalist former seat of Flintshire County Council that sits on a hill, above Mold town centre.

The Mold EP will be launched at a hometown gig at Theatr Clwyd, Mold on Friday, 3rd. March. We’ll be joined by our friends Campfire Social and Skellums. Tickets are £7 and available here:

There is a YouTube video telling the story of the band so far, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtERsE3ihDg

We originally split in 1997 due to frustration, an argument over a mouth organ and the success of Stereophonics.

We released one single (unaccountably popular in Sweden), made every conceivable mistake in the How To Be A Successful Indie Band handbook, toured with some excellent bands (Mansun, 60ft Dolls, Dodgy) and flickered out, leaving behind the memory of some great gigs, a few fine songs, and little else.

In March 2016, we reconvened to repair friendships and renew tinnitus. New songs came much more easily than the old ones, probably because we are playing to please only ourselves - with no thoughts of success or acclaim - for the first time in our existence.

There is more truth and resonance in our songs now than ever before. And power. And invention. We write songs about hope and love in the face of the moribund, daily grind. 

You will possibly hear fragments and echoes of the following artists in our sound (The Jam, Wire, XTC, Pixies, Badfinger, REM, Dr Feelgood, Small Faces, Husker Du, The Who, Ride, Big Star, The Cure, Joy Formidable, The Go-Betweens, Teenage Fanclub), but nothing has been plagiarised or misappropriated to mask a deficiency of our own ideas.

I have always loved to try and create music - and I have an eclectic taste!  

Now that I'm older I can listen to a much larger range of music than I did when I was younger - and appreciate it a lot more.

AI has given me the opportunity to produce some tracks which make me smile, I upload them to Soundcloud to share with family & friends and if anyone else likes a track or two, even better!
