Update from Thomas on Thee Infinite Kiss: This is now available as audio only, in six bitesize thirty-minute chunks. Roughly seventeen years of musical exploration that didn't make it onto an album proper, condensed into a three-hour mixtape. I can't stress enough - if you're interested in what I do, this shows about a million times more of the process than most of any finished albums do. Some of it is kinda cringe and I love that. Some of it is pure head music too.
P.S. Well done America <3

Hi folks,
As many of you have probably guessed, the show in London on the 17th has now been postponed yet again. A combination of numbers, social distancing and the sheer logistics of getting us 5 in a room together then getting the group up to London means the gig is not feasible at the moment. I do believe some (very) socially distanced shows are happening at Oslo, but for this to work for us we need to either rethink the setup of the show or wait until a time when we can stage as "regular" a concert as is possible. That is just not doable within the next week and a half. We are talking with our agent and the promoter now about rescheduling for March 2021. More bad news, and I apologise for that. I want for nothing more than to walk out onto that stage and play some mad music for you guys, and it is almost beyond what my brain can fathom that we haven't been able to do that for more than half a year now. That is a daily downer and a reality I never in a million years saw coming.

To whom it may concern...
Today our modern classic, Stages - originally released exclusively via Chord Orchard on CD/LP and modest DL in January 2020 - comes to the digital platforms, with the crucial help of our friends at Republic of Music. That's right, the worldwide Axis of Deezer. Now when you're sat around the TV at a party, wondering what you could possibly follow Little Mix with, you have your answer. Fire up Spotify and terrify your friends with the three minute intro to On Your Own. People release records all the time, but few are as R.E.A.L. as this. You asked for it - here it is. Enjoy!

A message ♥️🙏♥️🙏
To everyone who was hopeful to see us at a show this month, it is heartbreaking not to be coming to play you our songs, and we are truly sorry for the deeply scary, upsetting and uncertain circumstances. We would have been leaving tomorrow for France 😥😥😥
It looks like after a long 6 weeks of fear and anxiety and tears we are finally beginning to see a light at the end of this. I've been speaking to promoters on and off for the past month trying to ascertain if there is any point in rescheduling for this year and we are now tentatively slotting dates in for October. I should have a full tour run ready to announce within a week or two, and as ever it will be our absolute pleasure to return to France, and also to honour our Oslo London show. I'll get the dates announced as soon as possible and we will all need to keep every finger and toe crossed.

We are holding out hope for the May shows and will do our absolute darndest to make them happen. A lot is hanging in the balance now, including the vinyl repressing of Stages (as of today the pressing plant are "working from home", whatever that means..). If everything does indeed go to absolute shit, rest assured we will quaratine the fuck out of ourselves and come out the other end with Avenue Dot in the bag. Yes please. ESP #6. We're already very close. Nothing can stop us now, not even global pandemics and imminent armageddon. 🤧
