Dear Friends, 

2022 has been a wonderful and strange year. Thanks to all those who made it to a show, listened to or bought some music, or helped make it happen. 

2023 will bring more music and shows, which I’m really excited about. This show has just been announced with ace people and collaborators Kate Halsall and Faye MacCalman. See linktree for ticket info. April 28th 2023 at the Old Hairdressers, Glasgow. 

 

Be well over the hibernal solstice and take care into the new year.

A lovely evening was had at Fell Foot Wood for Inverted Grim-Mill In The Woods. It was wonderful to be able to play the ‘Pancosmodrome’ along with a sunset in the forest, and among good folks. Finally met Barry The Blackwood Baptist too, and The Moon Pool spirits were something to behold. Thanks to Jonas of Inverted Grim-Mill Recordings for organising and all the other acts, who were ace.

Thanks to all who came down as well as helped organise last night’s show at the Cluny 2. Awesome sounds from Nathan Fake (who also shot the short phone video below of the dextro set). Much of what was played will take shape in a new release, hopefully in the not too distant future. For live booking enquiries email - animator(at)dextro(dot)co(dot)uk

Here is a date for your diary. This will (hopefully) happen later this year (18/09/2021) alongside friend and former label mate Nathan Fake at The Cluny, Newcastle upon Tyne. Stay safe and be well.

2020 was a surreal year. 'An Hour is a Sea' was released amidst the initial chaos in May,  and I hope it provided some solace for folk. Sadly no live gigs obviously, but that should happen when things eventually settle down. Big thanks for the support, it means a lot. Stay safe and look out for each other in 2021. x 

Dear Friends,

'An Hour is a Sea' is released today.

LP and DL available at:

Some thoughts on the Loscil and Dextro live show from Ali Welford; 

Thanks to all who came down to the show at the North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers last night. Nice work On the Bridges for putting it on. A great night and it was cool to play with the wonderful Loscil.
