Blast from the past, Download 13 of my unreleased songs from 1998….

Back in the mists of time before I had released any records, and before I had even decided that I would like to make music for a living. I used to write a huge amount of songs, record them on a shitty 4 track tape recorder, collect enough to fill a C60 tape and give them to my friends. Maybe I thought I might get signed or something, but I don’t remember ever trying to get them to a label. Honestly I think I did it for the love of making, collecting and organizing the songs, doing the artwork and handing them out. This is one of my last compilation tapes, I made it when I first moved to London in 1998/9 though some of the songs date back to 1995.

This compilation used to be available on my old website but was lost somehow. I was just reminded about the existence of these tunes so I thought I’d have a little scout around and google found them! A few years back the good folk at www.ordinarybicycle.com offered to host the download – which I had totally forgotten about. So thanks to them you can have a listen if the fancy takes you.

The songs are mainly voice and guitar, If you enjoy dark wobbly-voiced down-tempo existential crisis you might enjoy “the sky is darker than the road”

DONWLOAD AWAY!

Best,
