Now playing: “The Rainbow”, new single from JJ Lovegrove. 🌈
"If I could have a little more light maybe I could be a rainbow."
Inspired by the writing of D.H. Lawrence whilst drawing on JJ’s own lived experiences.

Wow! Thank you so much @voltagepoetry.bsky.social #4AD is my happy place, as is everything @cocteauofficial.bsky.social ever. Very honoured to be mentioned alongside 🖤
‘Almost’ by @jjlovegrove.bsky.social is one of the best tracks I’ve heard by anyone this year - and it’s on the @hartshornmusic.bsky.social ‘Affinity’ compilation. Fine synth-work and a voice that would sit well on a #4AD themed mixtape with Lisa Gerrard or Elizabeth Fraser.

To be fair it’s going to be very funny when these clowns invent AGI and the super intelligent machine tells everyone to get offline, avoid processed food, stroll in the woods, seek community, eschew racism, pay high marginal rates of tax and ignore the ravings of deranged billionaires.
