Hello

"Hello. Welcome to my new super-simple website. All the latest news, music and stuff is here. I've got a brand new album called 'Love And Its Opposite' coming out in May 2010. It's on my partner Ben Watt's Strange Feeling Records - sister imprint to his Buzzin' Fly label. In North America it's coming out on the very lovely Merge Records. I'm also chatting daily with fans on my Facebook and Twitter pages, so come and say hello. Nice to be back."
