More exciting news at flakebelly inc. today. My tune Lazy Afternoon has been included in the Aldora Britain Records fifth compilation EP, Just Passing Through. For the princely sum of 50p you'll get 5 songs from 5 artists. A bargain! thealdorabritainrecords.bandcamp.com/album/just-p... #music

Spotify took me straight into their next track, which I also love. Y'know, those @fendahlene.bsky.social folks know how to make a chorus. open.spotify.com/track/0popp9...

Incase you missed it (and let's be honest, that's statistically very likely) we made you a new song. It's a love song, set one night in the 90's. Y'know, when we were all younger. #newmusic #indie open.spotify.com/track/0aECM...

An awesome new song from the mighty Fendahlene! Love the cover too :)

"..Talking Heads being force fed Gang of Four.." Really enjoying this chartsandgraphs.bandcamp.com/track/memo-2 discovered via the @122musicmanagement.com poll, which you should TOTALLY checkout...

Continuing our drive to ACTUALLY WRITE DOWN all of the new songs for Placeford and am now completely intoxicated on it. I think it's now inevitable that this album will ship with an accompanying songbook. God, I miss arranging stuff* for showbands... *previous life

1. Because I'm stupid I missed this song out from my Apprentice Green album rundown, available on CD, vinyl, download & streaming here: snd.click/gque Today we have 'Great Buckets Of You'. #music #indie #psychedelic #chamberpop #newmusic

Our new song, Moon, is out on Feb 7. You can hear it now, if you join our website for free. This will undoubtedly make us both feel better.

Social media is guilty of many, many crimes - but amongst the worse is the erosion of longer-form writing on the internet. Laura Kidd is blogging. We are here for it.

All of our new songs are set in the same town, Placeford. Here's a reminder of what happened there previously. This one features a cameo from a special teacher. Did you have one of those? Mine was a history teacher called Mr Emmett.
