Nice wee review of 'Flower' (from my latest album) in this month's issue of @thelistuk.bsky.social. list.co.uk/news/singles...

In the year of Inferno, it’s almost impossible to avoid comparing Howie’s latest with Boards Of Canada. It’s far more hopeful than anything from the godfathers of electronica, centring on the found sound snippet of a small child repeating: ‘Bees make honey, and it sure tastes good / Did you ever smell a flower? Well, it sure smells good.’ That same sweet-scented sentiment travels through the looping drum machines, sound samples and a slow ascent into the stratosphere. If you like The Books and their ilk, this one’s for you.

Just back from two weeks in Ontario where, in-between visiting the usual tourist haunts, I managed to thrift this lot. #CDFriday

I'm cautiously optimistic about the future of @subvert.fm, a cooperative-owned music marketplace which launches publicly today. I have a couple of albums available there already (including my latest), and will be adding more soon: www.subvert.fm/andrew-howie

#CDFriday Wow, the production on this is... unexpected! I'm getting used to it though, and there's some good tunes on here. I expect there's some NY fans out there who may not agree with my assessment 🙂

Here's another slab of solo guitar music for #bandcampfriday: slowthetape.bandcamp.com/album/everyt... Potentially my weirdest one yet. But not in a bad way. £1, or £11 for my 22-album discography. Cover art by @onetenthhero.bsky.social. RIYL: guitar music that doesn't sounds like guitar music!

Went to see Seth Bennett & Semay Wu, L and Earthball at @thegladcafe.bsky.social last night. Honestly one of the best gigs I've been to in a long, long time.
