Seeing Swell Maps in St Leonard's Piper last year was a bit special. And it's not often you see the support getting chased off the stage by half the band after overstaying their welcome.
Nice piece on the forthcoming Swell Maps album in The Guardian today (of which I'm very proud of my unmentioned contributions to almost every song), although in true Grauniad style, they get my name wrong ...

Excellent. Expecting some of the Brum massive will be there
One label, one delivery. Two very different sides, both of them class. Wrong Speed Records #nogenres
Ha! Didn't know auto-translate was a thing. Or that Altin Gun means Golden Day

Haven't seen them for so long. Must get out more...
Ephemerama - out today. Links below to parts 1 and 2. Spread the word. Ta.
The wonderful Mermaid Chunky at the Piper. Always a surreal joy, but this set seemed somewhat darker, and was even better for it. Not that you'd suspect from the giant hats and comedy teeth...
A big box arrived today containing digipak CDs of my new album,released on Friday!
Counting to ten then back again is OUT NOW and sits nicely with my other 2 previous Castles in Space LPs. keithseatman-cis.bandcamp.com/album/counti.... @castlesinspace.bsky.social
Starts in the ambient corner, ends in a wall of drone and feedback. New(ish) KMRU LP is an eye-opener

I was at the Brighton St Luke's show with Richard Norris and Bunkr. Utterly magical evening
This was a recent release I picked up from Rhodri Davies' Amgen label, a 2023 premiere of a mid-60s composition. Very moving and reflective ensemble piece

Must have had his Ready Brek
The already mighty @nightingalesuk.bsky.social - now 25% mightier and in very top form at the MOTH Club. Sharing the front row with Tina from Fuzzbox was an extra delight
We are very pleased indeed to be announcing the third album from @aircooled_music Aircooled. It's called "My God it's Full of Stars!" and is released into the world on 3rd April 2026 on our own Music's Not Dead label. It's a full length album with seven new songs recorded and produced at the Aircooled studios in St Leonards and like the previous two, features stunning new artwork from mew. More details of the album and forthcoming shows to follow.
News of a new Aircooled LP is very good news
And so am I

Massive walls of sound and moments of quiet contemplation. @mogwai.scot just being their usual excellent selves at Brighton Dome
