Your Robot Loves You.
New Video out on YouTube
So I have had this song a while; it is not like my usual output but I had been meaning to make a video for it but never had the time. Then along came the lockdown and suddenly I had the time so I just went for it.
I stuck it up on YouTube, just click the link. It is a bit mad, a lot of fun and I hope you all like it.

Wud Records Dig Toot
The extremely nice people at Wud Records https://wudrecords.co.uk have been reviewing some of my latest material, by going to my Soundcloud account, here is what they have to say;
On 'Still Blue Air' they say, "Completely captivating song - reminds us both of Echoes by Pink Floyd and Diamond Rain by Spacegoats. Liking the Pendragonish change up in the instrumental section, beautifully done."
On 'Beautiful' they say "Fantastic tune full of Morricone-esque suspense, enjoying the voicings you've chosen for the percussion....and suddenly a vocal appears! Great track:)"
On 'I Don't Understand You', they say, "Wow, that solo is straight from the soul, never mind the heart. Amazing performance.:)"
On 'Just Because You Said So' they say, "A tragic tale told all too often, sadly. Lovely song though.:)"
On 'Who Are You Now?' they say, "Fantastic 80s vibe in the production, lovely rifftastic guitar break and that clunky slightly dirty bass sounds amazing through our speakers here. You also captured the vacuous nature of 80s fashion beautifully in the lyrics."
And finally, on 'Young and Mad' they say, "This reminds us of the Beatles during their most psychedelic era, a really fun and odd song."
Needless to say I am chuffed with their comments and I hope that they will be considering some of the material for their compilation albums.
