There's No Place Like Home [Full Album + Swag]

 

When the going gets weird

Here comes the Hat and Beard—

The Mad Monk (Johnnie To, 1993)

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives 
(Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2010)

Rewind & Play (Alain Gomis, 2022)

For the YouTube version of my new album There's No Place Like Home, embedded directly below, I have gone to characteristically great lengths to make it so that it’s not just a boring inert cover image accompanying forty minutes of a raging brushfire of experimental music, providing each track a modified film clip that suits it. There’s also some little Easter eggs scattered here and there to make the whole thing even more fun, more gratifyingly variegated, and more ontologically colourful.
