Absolute pleasure to have worked on this! Originally a free track for purchasing the EP, now released as a single, it’s no longer a secret. When sarah first demoed me the track, this is roughly how I always heard it in my head. Very pleased with how it came out. I actually originally was just tinkering around with it, put some guitars onto the original recording and then it started shaping into it’s own thing. So I completed it and sent her it over as a surprise.
HAPPY BANDCAMP FRIDAY!!
Houses (Remix) is a reimagined version of the song from 2015's saddest EP 'In Twenty Years We Won't Be Sad', and now with only 15 years to go until all that sadness is erased.
With a little help from my wonderful producer, musician and friend Stephen Craven at SkuMedia, this has become a JAM.
'Houses' was written about my time living in Birmingham, the feeling of isolation and the impact this had on my mental health. I'm very pleased to be able to share this track with you and I'm very grateful to Steve for all his hard work bringing it to life. Also a massive thank you to Becka Crozier for doing the artwork for this track, it looks incredible!
As it is Bandcamp Friday, purchases are not subject to the usual fees and so I will be donating all proceeds from the sale of this to Reading Red Kitchen, a grassroots collective and solidarity project who provide hot meals, clothes and important items such as phones and toiletries to asylum seeking migrants in Reading.
