Slightly late as the Gala reissue came out in November last year on @4ad.com (but better late than never, eh?), I did an interview with the lovely James Broscheid for @bigtakeover.com.
.
It's fairly in-depth and we covered a lot of ground. Hope you enjoy.

Lorelle Meets The Obsolete are coming from Mexico to the UK in May & are gracing St Leonards at The Piper on the 14th. I myself shall be playing some music in between sets.
If you don't know Lorena and Alberto's music, check them out. They are fantastic, especially live.
It will be a great night!
Ha!
36 and 30 years respectively.
Today Sunlight Echoes, the 2nd album by the magnificent @whitelands.bsky.social is released.
I had the huge honour of contributing backing vox to the track Sparklebaby which I did in a studio in Hackney last year.

Happy Christmas from me and this cat. I have no idea to whom it belongs but it has made itself very at home on the sofa. Cheers! 🎄🍷❄️
Congrats.
Indeed.
Photo of me, Lol Hammond & Charlie Hall from the time I played on 3 tracks on The Drum Club's 'Everything is Now' LP back in 1993.
The tracks were recorded in Youth's studio & it was more or less the first time I'd been asked to contribute to someone else's record (a bit scary but def worth it!).

I had a nice chat recently with Rob Hughes about Laura Nyro for the recent issue of @uncutmagazine.bsky.social.
Some of you might remember that I wrote a song about Laura many moons ago and I was very privileged to be able to see her perform in the 90s so it was lovely being able to talk about her.
@emmaandersonmusic.bsky.social Just arrived today!!!
Lovely. x
Ooh, interesting...
Thanks!
No, thank you!
Aw! x
Had a blast & a great in-depth chat with Justin Lewis @whenisbirths.bsky.social for his textcast, First Last Anything. We talked about my childhood relationship to music - how it shaped me, the (3) bands I was in & what I am doing now solowise. Cheers, Justin.

Sorry, of course on here Phil is @junkshopper.bsky.social x
I am very pleased to announce that Phil King/@junkshopper's 'Lush: A Far From Home Movie', is now on YouTube for all to see.
I very much enjoyed appearing with Phil last year at various events, at home abroad, discussing the film with him and the audience.

I know. Scary,
I'm going to try and retrieve some more old photos from my oh-so-heavy photo albums (they need to be digitised really). To celebrate the return of Chapterhouse next year, here is a pic of me, Alex James and Steven Patman (from CH) at the launch party for 'Leisure' by Blur in 1991. Dress from Ghost.
It’s November. How the hell did that happen?
Yes, of course! Sorry it's not the best (ie your face isn't entirely visible). x
Had fun last night watching (and FINALLY meeting) @whenisbirths.bsky.social being interviewed by @quantick.bsky.social at Waterstones in Hastings about his new book ‘Into The Groove:The 1980s’. Sorry I left the pub, Justin, had to get back. See you soon.
Earlier this year I had the thrill of being asked to sing bvs on a track by the wonderful @whitelands.bsky.social
to appear on their second album 'Sunlight Echoes', coming out on January 30 2026 on
@soniccathedral.bsky.social.
Thanks to the band for the opportunity. It was a privilege & great fun.
Trying to think of a more middle-class headline (NB I do not read The Telegraph. It just popped up).
Did I mention there is Lush merch to pre-order too? There is merch! Bundles and badges and tees: -
