It has been way too long since the release of A New History, so I’m very glad to announce that I’ve returned to the studio and started work on the second record. As the process continues, more news about the album will be published here!

I have no clue why they haven’t released an album in over seven years, I miss them dearly. Bubba and Matt Kadane have only released phenomenal records, first with Bedhead and later with The New Year. Their sadness is a sadness that brings happiness. I do hope one day they’ll come back and visit my part of the world.

If there’s only one book you’ll read this year, please let it be Helen Macdonald’s beyond excellent memoir H is for Hawk. It’s many things in one: a social history of falconry, a personal account of taming a goshawk, a psychological portrait of novelist T.H. White, and a haunting tale of bereavement and the slow road upwards from depression. Macdonald conjures up images you’ll never forget and her way of looking at the world will alter your own forever.

The tour with Town of Saints has come to an end, but luckily we had film-maker extraordinaire Lotte van Leengoed with us, who made this beautiful film of Town of Saints and The T.S. Eliot Appreciation Society playing Melancholia & The Wicked Messenger together in a castle-tower in Bern. We hope you enjoy!

Great news! At the end of October, we’ll tour Germany and Switzerland together with Dutch folk-rockers Town of Saints!
