As usual, will hit the listen back button, show runs a bit too late for me to catch live.

Respect for repping Burning Star Core.
How about playing some Lambsbread on your show?
Not sure the worlds quite ready.

theory of machines from the EP 'Ben Frost - Theory of Machines' is excellent, kinda reminds me of Nathan Fake but more edgy and cold.
Check out 'Nico Muhly' aswell, also on the bedroom community label.
Looking forward to this and hearing some Mala.
I wont be locked as Ill be tucked up with my teddy bear in the land of nod!!
