This song was born at 20 Joice St, San Francisco, CA. From the first studio session it grew into something big. In my head it was me and my acoustic guitar. On paper, it became keys, electric, guitar, pedal synth, violin, collaborations with drummers, bassists, and double bassists. The last piece recorded was the scream symbolic of the pain I had bottled up finally spilling over.

Take Control

Release date - 26/1/2024
Bursting from the gate like a racehorse, this Janglepop thoroughbred chimes at every possible corner with hooks aplenty. Vocals harmonise throughout in typical ‘Shop Window’ fashion. I Run is the next single to be released from The Shop Window's much anticipated third album ‘Daysdream’ - A double LP consisting of sixteen tracks, due out in May 2024. The ‘Days’ side is filled with upbeat  Janglepop, and the ‘Dream’ side with a more melancholic Dreampop/Shoegaze angle to it.

I Run

Blue Raspberry

The first single from Good Habits' "Quarter-Life" Album.
Featuring the amazing Kate Griffin from Mishra on Banjo and vocals.

As the cool bass cello riff took center stage in this track, its dynamic vibe seamlessly paired with Kate's vocals. This combination captures the essence and meaning of the song. 'Sunday' is all about embracing moments of respite without guilt—an anthem against burnout. The synergy between the lively bass and Kate's stylings on both regular banjo and cello banjo adds a new color to Bonnie’s performance that itself musically represents taking time and standing up for yourself.

Lunging headfirst into 2024, Skunkadelic teams up with producer Abstract Soundz (Eva Lazarus, Sanity, Da Fly Hooligan) for a brand new strictly hiphop excursion.
‘Pressure’ is about just that; the frenetic, haphazard pace of 21st century life and its effect on someone’s mental and physical wellbeing. It’s an earnest self appraisal of his recent life exploits and the eager anticipation of a brighter future. The lyrics tackle the age old struggles of stress “a cold killer” and a propensity for self loathing, both fundamental facets of the human experience but rarely handled with such a combination of candor and grit.
Whereas previous single ‘No Time’ forged afrobeat with electro, here we encounter Skunkadelic in his most familar territory - focused, driven, boombap, jazz rap refrains galvenising the confidence and sincerity of his message.

Vacant Pavements - Caesium137

Dad's beard, it tells a tale

We pass through fire, through time and fear,
The test of fate brings no one near,
Affection fails, discernment stays,
We learn to love in stranger ways.
Intelligence finds friends in few,
Chance will hand the rest to you.
But a man is judged by those who stay,
The wise walk north, the fools decay.

Graduates of fortune,
Matriculated souls,
Learning through the silence,
Where the dark wind rolls.
Graduates of fortune,
With hearts that never sleep,
Friendship is a mirror,
And mirrors run deep.

Pleasure’s mask, the sweetest guise,
The liar’s warmth, the friend’s disguise,
We dance with trust, we flirt with doubt,
Some stay within, most fade out.
Legitimate in thought or sin,
Some for ideas, some to win,
Few are friends of who we are,
Most are drawn to what we wear.

Graduates of fortune,
Walking hand in hand,
Students of the moment,
Lost in shifting sand.
Graduates of fortune,
No lesson comes for free,
A wise friend guards the doorway,
A fool invites the sea.

Graduates of fortune,
Degrees in circumstance,
Bound by fleeting wisdom,
And accidental chance.
Graduates of fortune,
Our lessons never end,
You lose yourself in fortune,
Before you find a friend.
