Jonny Relph, formerly of Junetile, has recorded and released a new album under the name Indoor Voices. The album is called Nevers and it’s gorgeous. He calls it shoegazer and there’s certainly echoes of Serena-Maneesh, Curve and MBV. But there’s something more delicate, focussed and certainly less special-K about it. Also, the sleeve art is a wonder to look at.
Bandcamp has been making some good headway recently. One of the nicest things about it is that (currently) all the proceeds go to the artist. Plus, you can create download and discount codes as well as pay-what-you-want for the material. They also provide non-DRM high-quality audio files in various formats all at the same price – which is great. And you can do full previews of each song.
It’s been quite a year! Moved from Oxford to London, I’ve started a job at the BBC as a webmaster, and released that EP to iTunes back in the summer. The BBC has been diverting quite a bit of energy over the past few months so my output has flagged. Plus, I’ll be becoming a dad in March. Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Cha…hmm…D-D-D-Distractions…
At some point I need to re-skin this site and simplify it a bit.
Anyway, if you have an iPhone here’s a holiday gift: an All Over You Ringtone. If anybody knows how to create ringtones for other phones/formats, email them to me and I’ll try to post them.
