Plutonic Rainbows

Back in December 2107, Leyland James Kirby (The Caretaker) released a new album dedicated to Mark Fisher.

Entitled Take Care, It's A Desert Out There, copies of the first album were first made available during Kirby's performance at London's Barbican on December 8th for an event organised by Unsound.

350 CD copies of the album were made available on Boomkat over the weekend, but quickly sold out. Each of them were signed and individually numbered. The album features previously unreleased material from Kirby, comprising a single, 48-minute long track.

You can hear it on YouTube and another general release of the album will appear sometime this year.

Edith Wharton (1862-1937)

“But I have sometimes thought that a woman's nature is like a great house full of rooms: there is the hall, through which everyone passes in going in and out; the drawing-room, where one receives formal visits; the sitting-room, where the members of the family come and go as they list; but beyond that, far beyond, are other rooms, the handles of whose doors perhaps are never turned; no one knows the way to them, no one knows whither they lead; and in the innermost room, the holy of holies, the soul sits alone and waits for a footstep that never comes.”

A few people have asked about my books since I migrated from Squarespace and lost those landing pages. Squarespace is a great service but too expensive for me. At the moment, I publish on two platforms, Amazon Kindle and Apple Books.

Inexact Shadows

On a remote island, scientists have made a fantastic discovery. A technology thought impossible. Sabotage investigator John Miller is brought in when the labs are destroyed and something stolen. He is joined by Peter Williams, a soon to retire MI5 agent. As part of an unlikely group, together they must solve what has happened. Their discoveries trigger a whole chain of unwelcome events both past and present.
