The past is a revenant! (God Is In The CD re-issue)

BANDCAMP link here

The past is a revenant: it’s come back to haunt me on this re-issued compilation album, courtesy God Is In The TV zine.

It dates from two decades ago, when I was in a band called Empty Vessels, and the track on here features the most out-of-tune lead guitar I’ve ever committed to record. (I don’t think I was ever meant to play a Stratocaster… The universe clearly agreed.)

Anyway, it’s cute to look back on now.

More info via the links, but here’s the froth of the blurb:

This November marks twenty years since the release of GOD IS IN THE CD (GIITCD), an Underground Compilation of UK music in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. Today, we announce a reissue with a digital version featuring bonus tracks for £5 and a limited run of CDs available for £6. Funds raised from the digital reissue will go towards the hosting and redesign of GIITTV, with half of the funds raised from physical CD sales of the reissue going to Macmillan Cancer Charity.

It’s on Bandcamp for all you grave-robbers out there x

Ruination (an update)

coming soon?

A long-overdue update on what’s going on with the new album:

As previously mentioned, I was due to release in April with Analogue Trash.  Sadly, they’ve wound up the label side of their operation, so that’s no longer happening.  What is happening… hopefully… is that I’m working again with Eyeless Records to put it out in (at time of writing) June-July.  There’s not much more to report, as life’s chaotic at present, with lots of stuff up in the air – I’m very aware I’m not the only one that can say that, and my problems are small, but it’s hard to know what else to share right now.  Anyway, I’m going to carry on regardless.  More news as and when.

The Institute: Part II

Just back from Wales, working on new songs with Gethin Pearson at the Institute of Sonic Architecture… Nice to get back to some unfinished business (still got some electro tunes I wrote there a couple of years ago on the shelf, waiting for a home).

It’s been a hell of a year, some real highs and correspondingly deep, crevasse-like lows – some of it I can’t even talk about yet, for Reasons.  But it was good to write again – in fact I think it’s the best stuff I’ve done in ages; time will tell… (But I won’t.  For the time being.)

Analogue Trash: new record label, new album…

“We’re very excited to be working with Brighton’s Matt Finucane on the release of his next album. Fans of post-punk, grunge, and art rock will want to keep an eye out for this one, and we’ll have single and album news for you very soon. Welcome aboard, Matt!” – link here

Just signed with Analogue Trash – very exciting news that I had to sit on for quite a while.  Got an album already recorded with a provisional release date in Spring 2026, and I look forward to a fruitful collaboration with a really cool label.

More news as & when – should be some singles first, which I’ll holler about in due course.

Life’s good x

gig pixxx & rumblings

Daltons, 29 July ’25 by LBPhoto

So the Daltons gig with Cephos Powders & Patients was fucking great. The next one’s Thur 28 August at The Prince Albert with Scare Taxi & Nancy Cancer (playing possibly their final gig, for a while anyway) – link here.

After that, the next confirmed date’s 26 Nov, but there might be some more inbetween if the dark lord wills it.

See you around x
