Here's an album I released in 2000 and something, one of my favourite albums. With massive trip-hop beats, and layers of shoegaze guitars, harmonised vocals and twinkling keyboards, I think I hit a peak with the arrangements here.

Review | Weedpecker - V by @teamhorse.bsky.social

Review | Bonnie "Prince" Billy - We Are Together Again by @teamhorse.bsky.social
"We Are Together Again finds Will Oldham on top form, the “we” referenced in the title appears to be heartfelt and exceedingly good songs."

Review | Nothing - A Short History Of Decay by @teamhorse.bsky.social
"With newfound interest in shoegaze from a generation who weren’t born when it first emerged, this album will surely be well received."

Review | Converge - Love Is Not Enough by Gavin Brown
"Rightfully angry as fuck, ice cold in its execution, Love Is Not Enough is Converge at doing what they do best."

Review | MØL - DREAMCRUSH by @teamhorse.bsky.social
"DREAMCRUSH is a triumphant, emotional and vibrant album that should bring the band many new fans with its perfect fusion of black metal and melody."

Another one of my albums from yesteryear given a digital release. Recorded using an 8track and Playstation software 'Spotlight Kid' originally came out in 2004. Disco was the theme and I'd forgotten how many bangers it has on it.

Many moons ago I recorded a load of music under various guises. I've now started a Youtube channel to share some of that music. Will add more as time allows.
Here's a link to the channel:

Very saddened by the passing of Perry Bamonte of @thecure.com
Rest in peace.
My Top10 albums of 2025. At #1, Deafheaven 'Lonely People With Power'. This album finds the black metal band rise to the peak of their powers. Fusing all of their trademark sounds this album is an incredible feat from start to end. Truly special.
#BestAlbumsOf2025
My Top10 albums of 2025. At #2, Agriculture 'The Spiritual Sound'. At the turn of the year I hadn't heard of the band who make 'ecstatic black metal'. But this album planted itself into my head and I grew to love it. An utterly unique and remarkable album.
#BestAlbumsOf2025
My Top10 albums of 2025. At #3, Deftones 'Private Music'. One of my favourite bands just keep on creating their wondrous emotive metal with a plethora of new sounds to absorb. This album ranks as one of their finest.
#BestAlbumsOf2025
My Top10 albums of 2025. At #4, Health 'Conflict DLC'. Arriving late in the year the companion piece to Rat Wars continued this band's trajectory with sublime melodies and atmospherics fused with dark heavy waves of metallic might. Stunning.
#BestAlbumsOf2025
My Top10 albums of 2025. At #5, Heretoir 'Solastalgia'. The German blackgaze band blew me away with this stunningly atmospheric album bursting with huge riffs and above and sublime melodies. Majestic.
#BestAlbumsOf2025
My Top10 albums of 2025. At #6, Sleep Token 'Even In Arcadia'. Melodic, mesmerising and grand, this album might have divided opinion amongst metal fans but I played it a lot. Hugely addictive.
#BestAlbumsOf2025
My Top10 albums of 2025. At #7, Swans 'Birthing'. On their last album, the penny finally dropped for me as I was able to absorb their hypnotic droning creations. At times wilfully destructive, there's an ornate beauty to be found here.
#BestAlbumsOf2025
My Top10 albums of 2025. At #8, The Caution Children 'Appropriate Music'. The Florida band's stunning album pulls in elements of shoegaze, post rock and noise rock to make an emotionally charged collection. Repeat plays richly reward the listener.
#BestAlbumsOf2025
My Top10 albums of 2025. At #9, @mogwai.scot 'The Bad Fire'. The Scottish legends showed they still sparkle after 30 years together with an inventive album that pulled in all their best sounds and added a few more.
#BestAlbumsOf2025
My Top10 albums of 2025. At #10, Anna Von Hausswolff 'Iconoclasts'. Another aural treat from the Swedish artist. Complex and compelling, this hypnotic body of work showcases Anna's stunning vocals.
