I'm very pleased to say that the record is done and available to your ears for an inevitable (but hopefully worthwhile) foray into commerce. You can get it from me directly for ten English pounds including postage (at muteswimmer@gmail.com), at gigs for £8, or here:

I'll resist the temptation to describe the music as such. Suffice to say the album is eponymously titled. it has ten tracks with a few hidden surprises. It was recorded by Laurence Collyer, Stephen Burch and myself in various rooms in the south of England. I mixed it and Stephen and I mastered it here in Berlin.

It features the invaluable musical contributions of The Diamond Family Archive (electric guitar, keyboard, voice), Nezih Antakli (Percussion and atmospheres), Kay Johnson (vocals) and The Great Park (organ).

There are 110 numbered copies with lyric sheet inserts, fold out covers and photos which I designed and made myself with some mechanical interventions and the help of Fee and Stephen here in Berlin. The album will arrive here on last fm soon enough I'm sure.

As a taster here's a free download of 'Different Name' from the album:

Finally thanks to the many people directly or indirectly involved for their support and patience with this.

I hope you find something to enjoy there.

Ps:

I’ve been in Berlin this past week playing 3 concerts in the city. Here's a video of last night at Ida Nowhere in Neukölln if you want to take a look:
