Influences: A 1930's built semi-detached house, sitting in the parlour drinking Earl Grey from a Mason's white with pink pattern tea cup on a late October afternoon and talk of distant aunts who seem to have vanished into novels by Graham Greene, or worse Patrick Hamilton. Their traces left hanging on the walls next to bad oil paintings of children and horses, catching a hint of their lives like you catch someone cheating at Canasta.
Sounds Like: a moth drowning in jam, a big toe kicking a plum, a kid flying a kite into a pylon, a train on fire, a nun singing face down in snow, carpet burns, the inside of a hollow piano being hit by a gang of feral children with sticks, someone falling through a canvas of a snowstorm, the illusory land of Harry Ramsden's in Thurrock retail park, peanuts being scattered on a pub table etc etc.
