About Me


'Yes, it’s beatless, but it’s definitely not ambient, especially when that term has been so twisted out of shape that it now generally refers to dull, floaty, crusty, crystal shop pseudo-transcendental bollocks. Always From This Point has no such aims of altered consciousness; it’s about being here on earth and living life, about love and regret and all those other slightly emo things that tend to afflict the human being from time to time. The sound reflects this earthen intent; solid, rooted to the low-end, designed to be played as loud and bassy as your surroundings will permit.'flask
'Always From This Point' is now shipping! Hooray! There are only 86 copies for the whole world, each one in a spiffy hand-screened recycled cardboard case*. Every copy is numbered, and you only have to ask if you'd like it signed.
£7.50 to you mate (+ P&P of £1.50 UK or £2.50 International.) Click on your postage option below to buy one through paypal, innit. Or if you're in the Tayside area and would like to pick one up in person, drop me a message.

UK P&P:


International P&P:
*you should probably note that since the packaging is all hand-screened, and CD cases are a bugger to print on, they're all delightfully individual. Maybe wonky, maybe a slight ink smudge here or there... It all just adds to the charm, of course.

’For Leaving’
