How obscure museums and my album will make your apocalypse pleasant

62 - Oblivion by Grimes

Mon, 01 Apr 2013 01:30:00 +0000

Because what every electronica prodigy needs is a thirtysomething bloke to acoustic-up their oeuvre.

61 - You're no more than a mile from the beach

Fri, 01 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000

OIL IS BRILLIANT. I know you think it's rubbish, but it's ever so useful.

Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:15:20 +0000

Groove which needed some lyrics.

57 - 10,000 Letters of Love

Fri, 07 Dec 2012 08:27:00 +0000

Every raindrop is a letter of love from the sultry sky. Bazalgette, petrichor and a labyrinth of brick.

54 - My Super Powers

Sun, 02 Sep 2012 13:24:38 +0000

Song about my super powers, commissioned for Bristol's Bright Club: Super. Most super powers basically suck, IMHO #spoilers. Btw if you don't know who Holly Hunter is, google her.

53 - Psycho Jansch

Wed, 01 Aug 2012 21:39:54 +0000

The Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer" rendered in an Anjy stylee. It *kinda* works.

Song inspired by Mt Shasta and the Shasta Daisy via Richard Brautigan's "Please Plant This Book" and the lovely people at the Brautigan Book Club.

I promise you, this is one of the few songs I will ever write from the point of view of a tree.

50 - The Strongman (demo)

Tue, 01 May 2012 19:27:26 +0000

What must it be like to be a strongman? Someone who drags trucks around for a living? There's the adulation, I'm sure, but it sounds like hard work.

49 - Valentine's Day

Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:33:31 +0000

Making friends is hard to do. I've never "done" dating, I assume it's pretty much like this.

48 - Clouds Across the Moon

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 22:27:21 +0000

Cover of the Rah Band classic, made melancholy folk flesh, by me.

47 - The Coldest Western City Outside Anchorage

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 06:00:00 +0000

Not sure what the coldest Western city outside Anchorage is, or even whether Anchorage is the coldest western city. I could google it, but - you know what? I'd rather not know.

46 - The Look Upon Your Face

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 15:28:00 +0000

Atheist Carol written for Robin Ince's 9 Lessons and Carols for Godless People...

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:26:24 +0000

Cover of the Tom Waits classic from his 1987 album "Frank's Wild Years" (not be confused with the song of the same name on "Swordfishtrombones").

44 - Retrospectively

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:31:29 +0000

Brand new song! I really like this track; scat-singing, Moldy Peaches overtalking, Pixies backing vocals, Franz Kafka quotations and Radiohead sweep-picking - it quite simply has something for everyone!

37 - Friday

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 21:20:23 +0000

A cover of the well-known young person song

34 - God rest ye merry, gentlemen

Thu, 23 Dec 2010 00:20:22 +0000

Happy Xmas, one and all.

29 - Bridges and Balloons by Joanna Newsom

Sun, 01 Aug 2010 21:23:00 +0000

Cover of Bridges and Balloons by the brilliant Joanna Newsom in homage to the influence it had over "We went to the bottom of the Ocean", which is released on August 11th at all good digital retailers. Go to thesoundoftheladies.com for lovely physical CDs.

26 - Deep Blue Sea

Sun, 02 May 2010 13:55:00 +0000

Pete Seeger classic introduced to me by Liam Butler. It's probably an old English folk song originally.

22 - Disco 2000

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 15:38:00 +0000

A rare cover version, an homage to 90s music which you should download before I get served with 3-4 "cease and desists". It's a wonder anybody thinks the '90s ever died.
