About Me


Yule. A smashing chap. Aural delights abound. Perpetual motion machines. Super Polymeric manipulation. Inter-Dimensional navigation. 2 sugars and milk. Nothing is sacred in the workshop of this shaman of sound. Noise is carefully crafted, broken, glued back together, starved, given an acid bath, polished with a wire brush, fitted with cement shoes and pushed off a boat before being fished up, dried out, re-fried and served with a fresh salad.
It's dinner time...
Yule produces all manner of obscure pop songs and draws on a diverse set of influences. The resulting amalgams often reflect a mix of innovation, social commentary and an unwillingness to take it all too serious.

You've probably noticed the new song Eat Your Greens greeting  you as you visit my page. I haven't figured out what I want to do with it yet but I thought it was worthy of a little exposure so I ...
