What's this gingerly loping into view? Looks a bit like issue 3 to me.

An unfinished draft cover of issue 3 of my IN THE APRIL SUN fanzine.

I should be finishing the mixes of the extra bits for the NEUCLOUDS album but I've been distracted from the task by the Bogshed Boxset 🙃

My pleasure, Perry. I think along with July Skies, Avrocar are probably due a nice little reissue package.

It always seems to be commuting with me. My winter bus to work in the early 2000s was often soundtracked by Sunset Missions by Bohren & the Club of Gore.

I think I said at the time you never really think about the environment of the listener. Whenever I hear Spoon and Rafter by Mojave 3. I'm instantly back in a friend's car driving from Birmingham to Aberystwyth. I'm sure Neil Halstead never intended it to be the soundtrack to that journey 😀

You can get 25% off a lovingly packaged CD of our last LP, Certain Memories with the code “20percent” here today.

There are 24 copies left at present. One day there will be none, at which point cult status will officially be conferred.

Perry’s beautiful compositions are an absolute must for anyone into ethereal dream pop and shoegaze with a healthy touch of ambience. Also check out his gorgeous Defender Waves CD on @plentywenlock.bsky.social Wonderful music deserving of your ears!

I probably should have delayed the release of this by one week to coincide with Bandcamp Friday. Ah well, no time like the present to check out out of you haven't already 😊

Last Days of Rome @lastdaysofrome.bsky.social · 18d

My new single 'Every Imperfection' is out today! More hopeful and optimistic than most of the songs in my previous album, but still tinged with my trademark melancholy. DIY indie rock, FFO: Death Cab for Cutie, Owen, Iron and Wine.

Hi, Mat. I'm OK, thanks. A bit limited in what I can do physically at the moment. So I'm stuck with trying to complete the artwork for the NEUCLOUDS CD.
