95 - He Doesn't Have a Soul

January 06, 2016 00:22 - 7.35 MB

Brand new song, written incredibly quickly, about my looming doppelganger.

93 - Yes by McAlmont and Butler

November 08, 2015 21:00 - 12.1 MB

Cover of the wonderful "Yes" by McAlmont and Butler - the arrangement inspired by their live performance at Leicester Square in 2011, but a bit simpler still.

91 - There's Going To Be Rain On My Window Tonight

August 31, 2015 20:50 - 10.5 MB

This song is about a year old, but this version is about a day old. I feel like "There's going to be rain on my window tonight" should have been used by some old soul band, but I can't find evidence of it having been - Fleetwood Mac is the closest. And they hardly count.

90 - Boxing By Ben Folds

August 02, 2015 22:11 - 15.7 MB

Cover of Ben Folds classic "Boxing".

89 - The Bats And The Bears (demo)

July 02, 2015 21:15 - 10 MB

SWEARY WARNING: This has a swear word in it. Brand new song inspired by misandry and birds.

81 - Methuselah (Live)

November 01, 2014 10:55 - 10.8 MB

Live version of "Methuselah" recorded at the launch for "Through Intermittent Rain", at the Bookseller Crow on October 17th this year. With Kimon Daltas from The Footage on very quiet lead guitar.

80 - You're No More Than A Mile From The Beach (Album Version)

October 05, 2014 17:21 - 9.17 MB

Album version of apocalypse-fest "You're no more than a mile from the beach" with really kickass slide bass part. You can get the new album, Through Intermittent Rain, from martinaustwick.bandcamp.com

79 - The Man Who Could Not Read Minds (Folk Version)

September 03, 2014 05:59 - 10.2 MB

First track from the new Martin Austwick album, Through Intermittent Rain. About someone who can't read minds.

76 - What Do You Think Of When You Don't Think Of Me?

June 03, 2014 21:20 - 4.59 MB

Brand new song for this podcast. Words and pictures, thoughts and feelings.

74 - Spiral By Dave Pickering

April 01, 2014 22:26 - 6.88 MB

Spiral by Dave Pickering, arranged and produced by me for the Open EP: https://soundcloud.com/the-dave/sets/the-open-ep - links to his other music, podcasting and storytelling projects are there too.

73 - 17 By Youth Lagoon

March 03, 2014 19:59 - 5.72 MB

Another cover - this time of "17" by Youth Lagoon. I promise I'll write some original material soon.

68 - One Hundred Years Of Solitude

September 30, 2013 19:52 - 5.48 MB

Magic realist pastoral folk from the brand new Existential Meltdown album - http://existentialmeltdown.bandcamp.com/ - all money goes to Arts Emergency: http://www.arts-emergency.org/

66 - Landslide Years

August 03, 2013 11:00 - 6 MB

What happens when you cross Steely Dan's "Reelin' in the years" and Stevie Nicks' "Landslide"? A song that's only half rubbish. It has a "A Little Time" vibe to my ears.

64 - Lullaby

May 31, 2013 23:03 - 5.3 MB

Cover of "Lullaby" by Loudon Wainwright III from his album "Attempted Moustache". To see the new video for "10,000 Letters of Love", visit http://thesoundoftheladies.com and go to http://spiritofplay.bandcamp.com/ for Spirit of Play's new EP.

62 - Oblivion by Grimes

April 02, 2013 10:49 - 6.49 MB

Because what every electronica prodigy needs is a thirtysomething bloke to acoustic-up their oeuvre.
