  • Workbook

    In February 2016 I spent a week in a gypsy caravan where I recorded twenty songs in the hopes it could become my first album. It was bitterly cold and I had to turn off the storage heater in between takes. I brought home those songs and let them sit for a little while. Then I started tinkering.
    This week I finally finished tinkering and am happy to announce that my first fully-functioning album, Workbook, is available now.
    You can download it for free. All I want is to share my music and enjoy the fact I’ve managed to get this project together. I’m immensely proud and enjoyed the process so much that I’m already planning a follow up.

    I love the idea of now making videos for the tracks. The first of which, for the opening song, Sometime Later, is here.

    I know I’m probably never going to make a lot of money making music. That’s not why I do it. That’s not why I recorded this EP. All I want is for people to listen to what I’m doing. That’s why it is up for free. Just listen to it and let me know what you think.
    If you like it then pass it on to your friends.

    It’s the first completely acoustic EP I think I have ever released. I know there are certain people who will dispute that comment but the 10D Demos don’t really count as a release Jocasta.
    I just wanted the whole thing to sound very natural so headed to the excellent Broom Cupboard recording studio. Rees knew exactly what I was after and set up a number of microphones to capture live performances of the seven songs that make up the EP.
    At least three of them are first takes as well. I hate having to go back over anything I have done so what you get is what I was aiming for when I first sat down.

    I wanted to thank the people who have provided feedback so far. Kate. Terri. Lottie. Sam. You’re awesome.

    If you head over to my Bandcamp page you’ll also find my previous two EPs; Get Me To Marrakech and Karma Before The Storm. These are also free to download. GMTM was recorded in September 2012 at home and KBTS was recorded with Rees at the Broom Cupboard.
