"Pollen" will be my next baby to fly the nest on September 24th. Self-recorded, mixed and mastered at home, the track draws influence from 80's new wave, post-punk and disco with lyrics exploring themes of personal identity, sense of belonging and change. The first vocal hook came to me in a dream and I managed to remember it when I woke up. Hit me up if you’d like a download  x

POLLEN
You danced all night, soaked in pollen
Your shadow was more fluid than you
All you want is purity
You chucked it in a line and hoped for the best
It’s a dizzy world, we’re all spinning
If you get to the end, do you get back to the beginning?

I said this wouldn’t affect me, now I’m paralysed
Step into my head and you can analyse this one for me
So far from your paradise
This is too hard to forget, it’s gonna leave a few dents
You got quick eyes and they’re dimming
Your mouth is out of sync and I don’t think you really mean it

Oh how great it feels to be no-one
When my eye twitches, it’s the end of the world
And is it sad to be someone?
When you run your mouth, your breath clears the room
You’ve lost your crowd, they were never loyal anyway
They’re lost in the sound of their own world now
They found their true meaning and learnt it was nothing
It’s a dizzy world, we’re all spinning

You run on bad news, chip shop truths and the blues
We said goodbye to our youth, now we’re long in the tooth
You wanna dance in the flames but you don’t know the truth
Do you still have those nights when your head’s getting loose?

I got a new name, and a character to match
I’ll act it out alone, I won’t tell anyone
Aroused a new feeling and it’s finer than the last
What a fool in this world but a devil in the next
I got a new taste and a badly chosen scent
I got a new dance, and it fixes the past
I’ve seen everything and it’s never gonna last
If you love me then you’ll share my fate
And send a miracle
I’m invisible

simmer

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.
