UP (an new old album)

Here is something a little bit different to the more ‘serious’ or ‘arty’ projects I have been working on recently.

Since my last “pop” album projects (One Fat Man and …howard) I had been working on a bunch of synthy, poppy follow up music. But due to various things (mainly working on my PhD and having a kid) I never ended up finishing the music with lyrics etc. Some of these tracks date back to 2009 and I felt like it was time to get this music out to stop it from just disappearing into the background of my hard drives… then I can continue moving on with the various other new projects! At this point I don’t think I will ever ‘finish’ them, but I would rather they were available to listen to, than just sitting on my hard drive.

So, this is a collection of unreleased tracks, instrumentals that never got lyrics, and other previous unused treats. This work followed on from the synthy explorations of the …howard project. Most of this album is fun, uptempo, synth-pop-ish, dance music.

THIS IS MUSIC THAT IS NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. IT’S JUST FOR FUN. SOMETIMES THAT IS ALL THAT THINGS NEED TO BE. HAVE FUN.

Some of the tracks feature vocals (by Conor McCabe, Stephanie Christian, Joe McNamara and Courteney Mayall), but most are just uptempo instrumental synthy jams.
