    Nothing beats some big tribal drums and two great female voices singing in harmony.

    “Wolf” // First Aid Kit // bonus track from the album ‘The Lion’s Roar’ more on soundcloud




  • [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

    Nothing beats some big echo, some Beatle-esque harmonies, and a string section.

  • I’m still waiting for the cough to subside, it’s clinging on for dear life. Going to the doctors next week to make sure I don’t have bronchitis or something terrible. Today I finished a new song. But then decided I didn’t like it. So now I’m re-writing it. I’ve also been working on artwork and concept ideas for album no. 3, which is coming along nicely. And I’m in the middle of writing a ukulele tab book for my songs - limited edition hardback! I was going to try and keep that a secret until I’ve finished it, but I’m very excited about it. Plus I really want you all to know that I’m busy doing lots of things and not just sitting around in my pyjamas watching Magnum P.I. DVDs and eating Nutella straight from the jar.

    Beach House - “Used To Be”. Been around for a while now, but this track never gets old for me. Also, love this alternate version, performed on a beach > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgdPXp5phNY




  • Went for a walk this morning and saw the wild ponies on the south downs. So sweet. But POO EVERYWHERE. The first one did a really long steamy wee directly after I took it’s picture. 

  • Today this happened. Jocelyn of Pearl and the Beard recording some vocals in our studio. But for what?! Guess you’ll have to wait and see! “Punch it!”

    Was going to record a little cover of Auld Lang Syne for you all, but I have caught a nasty cold and an old-man cough. So will have to make do with this. Sorry chaps! Happy New Year!

    Torturing everybody by making them wear those goofy paper hats from christmas crackers, making me feel at home.
