With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

An experiment with Damage 2. It was going to be part of a larger album but didn't make the cut. It's a song about the subtle experiences we all have and somehow connect with each other in one way or another. The song is more about that connection…
Wonderful to have you back on alonetone - and hear new stuff from you.
This is beautiful - I love the way you change the feeling up throughout, and those are absolutely stunning vocals...damn.
Another song that never made the cut on a recent album, but I plan on finishing it later. Drums were written by a friend of mine after I gave him a very rough drum idea.
Great to hear this one again! I'm (still) working on an album with the brilliant JST - he's just ridiculously good at everything. :) But so long as he's doing it on the same album as me, I'm okay with it.
Tworegs visited and we couldn't help but get at least one colaboration song done in the studio. I wish we would have had time to get some other songs he wrote in SF recorded in my studio but I was out of town during part of his stay, and to be…
Ahh like a lovely cup of tea. I was thrilled to bits when you also signed up this year, and although I failed miserably, you knocked it out of the park...again. Thanks for giving me more breezy music to laugh at the world by. Next year, let's do it again. Any physical CDs this year??
Brilliant song - and you make it all sound so effortless. Fresh, cool, quirky (I'm told by my teenage daughters that "quirky" no longer means what I think it means, but they're wrong), just g-o-o-d m-u-s-i-c.
RPM 2024 track 7
A good friend of mine has a Samoyed. This is a song about him.
I was hoping for a kiiind of Cheap Suit Serenaders feel. Acoustic guitar, a 1920s tenor banjo and a brand new mandolin.
This gets a strange emotional reaction from me because I can't imagine you to be anything other than mischievous and irrepressible. But...this is Americana Tango...and I love both. Weirdly though, this takes me to the leafy walkways of Rome and now I want a cappuccino and to send you flowers.
Dean Martin probably wants to record this. I can hear a version with the Hollywood treatment in my head. But this is cooler. You infuse fresh air in everything you record.
Smiling in the first few seconds. This is the Gumbo I love. Lies and Tales is one of my absolute favourites RPM albums of all time, so the bar is pretty high - but this is toe tapping classic Gumbo awesomeness. Yep yip.
Dragged Jazzo away from her celebration cake to record this version of Bossa Nova Breeze by Gerald Schwertberger from her recent Trinity Grade 4 exam (which she aced).

Class.
"Didn't make the cut"...you're hilarious. This is brilliant. I love the dizzying synth line.

Dreamy...drifting away on vaisvil clouds... Sounds like flowers opening.
Fun breezy collab!
Liking the moodiness here! But where have all your other tracks gone, Johnno?! Good to hear from you. Hope you're well and happy.
Still love.

Moody, Wolfy, Sliiick. (Album opener vibes, imho)

Absolute classic Gumbo. Light and breezy, but with a bittersweet (dark even) undertone...how do you do that!?
Super sweet! Love the mandolin and you definitely achieved the feeling you were aiming for. *googles Samoyed*
Oooh yes!! Sultry! Rhythmic! Loving all the layers, all the twists and turns.
Oof yeah, more tango! Lovely harmonies and dreamy guitar.
Mischievous and irrepressible. The prosecution rests.

So proud I can't even.
