"it's like the band time-travelled straight from 1965 and forgot to change the playlist. Keep soaking in the sun and the sepia-toned memories but try not to blend into the background too much; they're already the human embodiment of a weathered postcard!"

Thank you to those who kindly bought a digital copy of MERRY CHRISTMAS TONIGHT by ARMSTRONG on BANDCAMP. All money after Bandcamp fees go to CRISIS UK. We had £12 worth of sales approx (before fees) so I just donated £15 into Crisis UK a moment ago. Every bit helps! 🙂

A few people have asked where they can get hold of a Brian Bilston & The Catenary Wires commemorative mug and tea towel, which we were selling on our recent tour.

The answer is here: brianbilstonandthecatenarywires.bandcamp.com/merch

Our album ‘Sounds Made by Humans’ is up there, too.

As with the previous album,the last 3 tracks are loop-based and beat-driven on my new album. In “Radiology Report p.1”,I sampled the koto sound from track four, turning it into a kind of modern Japanese track as a small expression of gratitude and respect to followers who enjoy Japanese culture. 1/2
