A second Sunny Intervals video…

As heavily hinted at in a previous post, I have indeed made another video. This time it’s for a new song called ‘As summer draws in’.

It should be called ‘As the summer draws in’, but I made a mistake tagging the initial MP3, then sent it to someone who may use it for something, and then it all became too complicated to change it. There’s a very low attention-to-detail threshold around these parts!

There will hopefully be some more news relating to this song shortly. Hope you enjoy the video!

Christmas video and compilation

There’s a new Sunny Intervals song called ‘Winding Down For Christmas’. It’s available on the Series Two Records Christmas compilation, and I’ve also made a video for the song.

Well, I say a video. It’s a video in the sense that it is on Youtube and I can’t really think of a closer description. Let’s just say it has a bit of a ramshackle DIY feel to it, and that it didn’t cost anything to make. A bit like the song itself possibly.

The Series Two Records compilation has 26 songs which all relate to the holiday of Christmas in some way. Other bands appearing include And, Oh So Slowly He Turned, Later, Old Time Radio and The Legendary Ten Seconds and there’s just 120 copies. Copies are $8 each by Paypalling seriestworecords@gmail.com  

I’ve another video in post-production. By which I mean that it’s essentially finished but I might decide to mess about with it once I’ve left it for a while. It’s for a new ukulele song called ‘As Summer Draws In’ and I’ll post it up in the new year. In the meantime, here’s the Christmas video:

A new EP: Sidewalk Cafe

There’s a new Sunny Intervals EP available to download free called Sidewalk Cafe.

It’s another five lovingly home-recorded songs featuring American cities I know very little about, chasing eco-girls, attempts to induce libel cases and an ill-fated attempt to try and run a cafe.  The tracklisting is:

1. Cincinnati
2. The case for the defence
3. Sidewalk cafe
4. Amelia
5. Sleepwalking

Download the MP3s for free individually from:

Hope you enjoy the songs!

Some 2009 news…

Well, I guess it’s been a little while since the last Sunny Intervals activity. Aside from enjoying the summer, the last few months have seen my 1980s keyboard pack up, my mini-disc player breaking, the website host folding and the domain name expiring. Still, it’ll take more than a few minor technical glitches to throw things off course. The power light on the four-track cassette player was flickering worryingly yesterday, so that could well be it once that goes, but until then everything’s going fine and there’s even some new songs.

Here’s a free MP3 from the forthcoming Sunny Intervals release: Sidewalk Cafe. It’ll appear alongside four other songs on a release in the next few weeks, so please pop back here soon. It should all be available sometime in October.

And in anticipation of the softest of record launches, I’ve transferred all the content from the old website, which officially gets banished from the internet in October, over to this brand new website. I’ll miss the old website. I liked the way it looked homemade and lo-fi. Like the website for a family-run seaside bed-and-breakfast. This new one looks almost professional by comparison.  I’ll try and make it look nicer in the coming months, but in the meantime, it’s home and it’s somewhere to keep the lyrics written down where I won’t lose them…

Hope everything is well with you!
