I recorded 'the long dark tea time of the soul' around 2004.
I had no idea what I was doing: I didn't know how to play my instruments, I didn't know how to record music and I didn't know how to produce music (this is all still true).
Tom Robinson picked up on the track 'Silbury Hill' after I submitted it to the 6 music introducing show. He was quite encouraging and played it on BBC 6music (at 2am and edited). He also used it as a bed for a YouTube video he posted of the south by southwest festival;

But I needed to earn money so I decided I had no talent and went off to find paid work instead of wasting time noodling on the guitar.
For a long time I thought these tunes were awful (most of you still do!) and it was only because I couldn't log into my account (then forgot it existed) that I didn't delete it all in a fit of embarrassment.
But listening back years later I think it's cool for all of the above reasons.
There are no vocals and sure there are bum notes and bits out of time, yes the mixing isn't great but I wasn't 'trying' to do anything because I didn't know "how" to do anything.
So ultimately it's pretty honest music, reflecting how I felt at the time and with a lot of pretty good ideas and I think it sounds like .... well... me.
I think if you can get past the amateurism some of it works pretty well.
I can't actually believe I made Ghosts - I think its a really good track!!
I think they all have moments where the ideas are interesting and moments where they fall apart.
