about

This is the 11th album titled “Cooling Tower”, this was recorded in Zenxith’s house from January through till March 2024, this album is essential indie pop & especially DIY indie pop & without a doubt my best album to date. 14 unique lofi tracks ranging from acoustic guitars, keyboards, handclaps, shakers & tambourines. Female backing vocals on almost half the songs by American singer Yvonne Allen who also featured a little on my previous album, this really adds to the variety of the album, boy girl harmonies a very very soft & sweet album, a gentle twee feel, genuine DIY as always with simple drum machine drums. No label, no studio, just me from my room, sticking to the DIY ethos that I respect.
Each track is also filled with a persistent tambourine & shaker, this is gentle indie pop, yet it doesn’t just sound like the generic indie pop we all know & love, as I’m not trying to replicate that, this is truly a unique take on indie pop. This is available on CD as issue number 3 on my own DIY label Salt Mine Records, limited to 60 copies.
