My Picks: Batch 583

Octet

Joubert Octet -3. Adagio

written by kahlla & hot dennis
produced by hot dennis
mixed by jules konieczny
mastered by nic nell
additional drums by joe haeger, engineered by tom hill 

lyrics:
same old tired game
seems i can never change
still blush at your name

let go of my pride
think of you each time
everything i tried

i know you wanna erase me
all of 2016

but you still got your nose ring
the one we got together
and even if you take it out
the scar will stay forever

smaller victories
piece by piece
retrain my memory
you're just a habit now
and you found love somehow
a wife, a kid, a house 

and now you don't wanna know me
all of 2016

but you still got your nose ring
the one we got together
and even if you take it out
the scar will stay forever

i will stay forever
i will stay forever 

but you still got your nose ring
the one we got together
and even if you take it out
the scar will stay forever

nose ring

'Terrorist With a Gentle Heart' is the fourth single from my third album 'No Cages'.

The track will be released on Friday 5th September 2025 and will be available to download and stream from all major sites, as well as from my Bandcamp store.

'Terrorist With a Gentle Heart' is a song about what it's like to be a vegan in a non-vegan world. It was inspired by a friend who once declared to me that vegans are just a bunch of terrorists. 

The album 'No Cages' is available on limited edition CD, and to download and stream.

'No Cages' is my third album, and my first in seven years.

It features the singles 'Simple Life', 'Incomplete' and 'I Would Have Left This Party By Now (If It Wasn't For You)'.

It is my first collection of predominantly animal rights songs and covers topics such as intensive chicken farming, toxic masculinity, humane-washing / greenwashing, and the perception of vegans by a non-vegan world. The project also covers other themes such as loss and loneliness, how technology is disconnecting us from the real world, escaping from the human race, and the beauty of the ground beneath our feet.

It has been a labour of love, taking over two years to complete, delayed by various set-backs, most noticeably damage to my vocal chords.

The album features over 40 contributors from across the world, including Vegan Queen V, Liz Mitchell (Terrorvision), Ian Haywood, Giles Bryant, and Chaos Collective (Blur). It was recorded at Half-ton Studios in Milton by Neil Rogers, mastered by Pete Maher (U2, Pixies), and features artwork by Tom Jones.
