I was listening to a lot of stuff on Kompakt when I made this.

My favourite track is the haunting “Don’t Get Hung Up in Your Soul”, which features a musical saw – listen to the other tracks for some equally unusual instrumentation…

Sidenote: just found out that Muzak was the name of an actual company!

My first collaboration with another artist is finally off the press! I recorded six tracks on Jocky Venkataraman’s new double-disk LP, “Motorways Died Young/This is Not Food, This is Not Even Food”, out on Adam Stafford’s Wise Blood label in Glasgow.

Three of the tracks (see above) have organ/synth/drum contributions by me.

“You can’t really say that Jocky Venkataraman sounds like anybody else apart from Jocky Venkataraman. Sure, some have made comparisons to Daniel Johnson (who Jocky hadn’t heard until recently) and Malcolm Middleton, but nobody in Scottish music today imbues the kind of idiosyncratic blend of the personal and political with such humour and naive charm quite like Jocky.

The songs cover a broad range of topics from cycling In Sanquhar (where Jocky’s legs get wet), the horrible, transparent nothingness shopping-mall town of Newton Mearns and the mundane conversations you have with your relatives on graduation day (Graduatitive).”

(from the Wise Blood release notes)
