This bonus fragment will become a song; December is when I love to write, when nights draw in. ✨️💡🕯"Something Positive" has been out for just over a month and the response has been off the charts amazing. Thanks to all who have bought it, played it, told their friends about it. Bandcamp links in bio.

There's a Q & A over at @blankmood.com where I talk about my songwriting process and how too much surfing affected my guitar tone. Read on! www.blankmood.com

This track has bigger arrangements but I've kept my DIY approach. My Telecaster is set to “melted in the sun” in a nod to Swervedriver and Mazzy Star, but there's a hidden Frank Ocean kick. Ian Flynn always knows what to do in the recording & mixing, and Mark Gardener's mastering is meticulous. 3/5

"Something Positive" shifts into spooky psych shoegaze territory: heavy layered guitars and chanted vocals. The song grew from a sliding riff, written originally as a bassline. “I’ve been gigging and playing pitch shifted guitar; I enjoy the weight that working down the scale adds." 2/5

Mixing begins with Ian... the time of day, the speakers all make a difference in my ears. I take good time on this step. I'm arranging not just the instrumentation but also the building mood.

Back in the studio again with the incredible Ian Flynn in London to record my 2nd single. Studio days are intense but also a supreme highlight of my year. 💛✨️🎛 Loads of layering on this next track, months on this song trying to find its sweet points. I am the band, it was like a gig load in!

Today marks one year since the release of "Every Loss." Finally, I'm able to work on the rest of the demos! Come to The Shoegaze Cafe Manchester on Sat 31 May and you can hear me perform this song (if I can remember the chords 🤭).

@assistantband.bsky.social asked me if I would contribute to his bijoux zine; I leapt at the chance! It's packed with great bands/writing, a joy to edit together this piece. You can order on their Bandcamp (I've got both the recent CD and zine pictured). Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Many thanks to everyone who's listened to, bought and supported my debut! I've been hiding away but busy, working on my next material (and hatching plans for gigs). Today is Bandcamp Friday, if you'd still like to grab a copy of my single. Links in my bio. 📸by Lilly Creightmore

Mastering by Mark Gardener (Ride/OX4 Sound). I'd admired his work with Seablite, Mo Dotti, Soft Cavalry, and Ride! I didn't expect a quick reply, but he responded the day I sent the track! His mastering makes everything sparkle. He was calm, kind, and brilliant to work with. 5/7

Choosing Ian Flynn/Werkhouse to record/mix the track was easy! I'd worked with him a few years back with another band, he was intuitive and efficient. I love his work with Whitelands, too. It was an epic day of recording in London (and I got to borrow cool pedals!) 4/7

The track would never have seen daylight had Mark & JP @heliconglasgow.bsky.social not asked to hear it! They assisted with the rough mix and with advice, I'm indebted to them both. For many months, only a handful of people heard this track, Jonny Mattock (S3/Spiritualized) was another. 3/7

This particular track came together quickly, a riff that took a life of its own from an alternate tuning. I taught myself enough guitar and bass to record it, and enough Logic to mix it. I perform all the instruments on this track, and sing. 2/7
