He/him
This year I celebrate a decade of FAWMing or 28% of my life, if you inexplicably prefer.
I've not had the busiest year musically. I did release an EP in September. Other than that, I've been putting the finishing touches to my second album.
I did discover how time consuming making music videos can be though:

I had fun last year writing uptempo, funky stuff but I think I'm gonna slow it down a bit this year and go for more of a noir-ish, torch song style. I've also got an idea for a song cycle percolating in the back of my brain and one for a sci-fi krautrock side project, so who knows what will come out!
I feel like I was a bit lax last year as far as commenting was concerned, so I'll be making a concerted effort on that front this time around.

Hey up
I think it depends what side of the Medway you are. According to the map (see link) you’re just east (Man of Kent) and I’m west (Kentish Man) but whatever, have a great one

Ah glad you're back man. Yeah, meeting Pete was pretty crazy but it would have been silly not to! Good taste 😉 I know there's not one on record, but we added masses of orchestration to the ending, it was wild.. there'll be a pro video released of it soon I think
