Biyografi

I was the singer and songwriter in The Loft and The Weather Prophets; we were on Creation Records from the beginning and I think we helped establish the feel and sound of the label. After this I made a series of solo records, selected on Injury Time (Solo 89-93). I then started making more electronic music, forming The Wisdom of Harry and Ellis Island Sound (with David Sheppard) signing to Matador and Heavenly respectively, releasing albums under these guises until the early 2000s. At this time, I started teaching music at Goldsmiths, running the Songwriting course. I am now Senior Lecturer at the University of Westminster. I have written journal articles for The Cambridge Journal of Popular Music, Rock Music Studies, and a book in Bloomsbury’s 33/3rd series on Richard Hell. In the 2000s I started making solo records again, for a variety of labels: Hal’s Eggs for Static Caravan, Songbox for Second Language, Spilt Milk for Fortuna Pop. In 2017 I signed to Tapete, home to Robert Forster, Lloyd Cole and Comet Gain among many estimable others, releasing One for the Ghost in 2018. I also run my own label, Faux Lux, recently releasing a solo album of covers, You Made Me, music by Ellis Island Sound, my spoken word project The Attendant Faux Lux will be releasing a new single English Weather, to be followed by an album, Time on Earth in October.
