This is the artwork for my new album which is out today. You can start to download it here -
This one’s been a ridiculously long time coming. I had the idea for it probably over 4 years ago when I started learning to play some cover songs that all followed a similar theme (you can read more about this theme in the essay I’ve written for the digital booklet you get with the download). I started recording the songs, played some of them live, found older songs of mine that fitted into the overall concept and soon found I had the rough template for an album on my hands.
I actually thought I’d finished the album 2 years ago (I’m procrastination personified) but listening to it again recently, and having done a lot of recording and producing over the past 2 years, I could hear a lot I wanted to do again – vocals, guitar parts, mixing, etc.
So, I’m a lot happier with it this time around. I’ve still got a little bit of work to do on some of the tracks which is just one of the reasons I’m releasing them 1 or 2 at a time over the next few weeks.
The artwork and digital booklet were designed by MOOSE77 and some of the photos were taken by Fin Macrae. Hannah Clyne, Mark Hilditch and Phil Moir played on the album, and Iain Hutchison at Glo-Worm mastered it. These folks are all hugely talented and I’m incredibly grateful for their help.
Anyway, the album is here: www.jesusisforlosers.co.uk
I hope you enjoy it – if you do, please let other people know about it, be it via word of mouth/email/blog etc. It all helps immensely. And please let me know what you think by emailing or leaving comments on this blog.

What a great start! Two fantastic tracks. I’ve always loved the Steve Taylor song, and you put a whole other emotional spin on it to the original.
Great stuff.

So excited that the album is now about to see the light of day. The first two tracks are brilliant and I eagerly await the drip feed of the rest of the album. You know how much I love the demo version I’ve had.
I’ll post about it on my blog soon.
Take care,
B.
