"Watch The Fireworks"

About Me

Sign up to my mailing list:
Former Delgados member. Signed to 4AD Records as a solo artist in June 2005 after having major panic attack about what to do after band split. It was either that or bugger off out of the music industry altogether and go and find work that I would probably walk out of within a month.
Considered putting out an album on Chemikal Underground for about 5mins and then figured out that asking my freshly ex-band mates to put out my solo record may be a little odd for us all so I then went to look elsewhere and as Delgados had a history with the Beggars Group of labels (Mantra put out our albums outside the UK) I ended up with a deal with 4AD, on which my first album 'Watch The Fireworks' was released in September 2007.
Funny how things roll on however, as I am now pretty sure that my next album, which I am currently writing, will be released on Chemikal Underground. It's nice to be back in the fold.
I plan to start recording early next year with the hope of getting a new album out in the autumn of 2009.
