Here’s the first finished track from the forthcoming album. I still have a long way to go though! Enjoy.

Ok here’s a new song called, “Push/Pull”. It’s been kicking around a while and wasn’t really finished enough to be on the last EP. It doesn’t really fit with what I’m doing with the new album I’m recording (which will probably be instrumental & more electronic) so it’s a bit of an orphan. I may stick it on the next album or save it for something else. Anyway, let me know what you think!

So this will be 2013 then..

Oh hi.

It’s bloody cold outside so I might as well do some recording! Work starts tonight on album number 6 (!!!) and I’m going to try a different approach this time. I’ll let you know how it goes at some point. Wish me luck, hopefully you should hear some new Mister Fusty music sometime this year…

Stay tuned!

Festive Greetings!

I’d like to wish all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a great New Year!

If by chance you get some iTunes or Amazon vouchers as gifts then I know just thing to spend them on…

Amazon Link

iTunes link 1

ITunes link 2

If you get a Spotify subscription, well, look who is there…

Or you could also spend your gift money at the Bandcamp Store!

Thanks for all your support during 2012. In the new year I will strap myself into the magical Fusty music recording machine and see what comes out, hopefully you’ll be hearing new music some time in 2013. Stay tuned by “liking” the Facebook page or follow on Twitter

I’ll be posting regular updates there on how progress is going (or not) and you might hear some nice things. This time the plan is to do something a bit different, probably instrumental and my keywords are “dark” & “funky”. However this this could change and I could end up doing the same rubbish I normally do, or a steel band pastiche. Who knows?

Stay safe out there. Fusty out.

"Say Goodbye Sunrise EP"

Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:12:00 +0000

I’ve decided to bundle the last couple of singles, “Sunrise (It’s a Good Start)” and “Say Goodbye” (and their ‘b-sides’) into an EP with a new track “Holly Would”. The reason being that by the time I’ve finished the next album they’ll be old songs and most likely won’t fit, musically anyway, on it. I’ve decided to push the envelope a bit on the next bunch of recordings, trying something a little different (I’m not sure what yet!), and it’s likely that there’s going to be a long gap before the next Mister Fusty release. Also making an EP of these tracks gives a chance for them to appear on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon etc.

The new song has been kicking around for a few months, it started out as quite a slow, boring acoustic track. So I decided to speed the recorded guitar up and looped extracted bits of it and turned it into something completely different.

You can download the new song for free at Soundcloud, Alonetone or use the player below.

UPDATE: You can stream the EP at Spotify, or purchase at iTunes, Amazon or Google Play store

"Say Goodbye" Single out today.

Mon, 10 Sep 2012 09:53:00 +0100

Here’s the new digital single, “Say Goodbye”, you can download it at Bandcamp along with it’s b-side, “Space Birds”.

This is will be the last Mister Fusty release this year, I’ve started work on a new bunch of tracks which will form an album and will be out sometime next year, in spring perhaps? (He says optimistically).

“Say Goodbye” and previous single “Sunrise (It’s a Good Start)” will be on the album but the ‘b-sides’ won’t be, you can get them individually at Bandcamp if you like.

I hope you like, “Say Goodbye”, I spent a long time tweaking and honing this one and I’m quite proud of it.

Cheers!

"Make a F**king Decision"

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 13:14:19 +0100

You know how I said previously that I was only going to release singles & EPs now? I’ve changed my mind (again). I like albums, so I’m going to do an album. Although there will be one more single this year (probably the last release of 2012 from Fusty HQ ) featuring two tracks, “Say Goodbye” and “Space Birds”. Album to follow sometime next year….hopefully. Possibly. Maybe. It’ll likely be called, “Make a f**king decision”. ;)

New Mister Fusty Single Out Now!

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 13:30:00 +0100

Here’s a new digital single for you, called “Sunrise (It’s a Good Start)” with it’s ‘b-side’ “Lake Shore Drive”. You will have perhaps heard the former before as I previewed it earlier this year. The artwork is my attempt at a homage to 50’s and 60’s jazz record sleeves. All artwork for these these singles will have a similar style (until I get bored with it of course!).

For now, at least, I’m just going to be releasing singles and EPs. They will initially only be available in the Bandcamp store. Once I’ve released enough single tracks I will gather them up and make a compilation album that will appear on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc.

For the next single I’ve got one song almost complete already (it’s a cracker if I do say so myself!) and you should see that appear around September. Hopefully these singles will appear fairly regularly, so you should never have to wait too long for some Fusty goodness!

I hope you like the new tracks.

The Mighty Richard Hawley came to Whitley Bay!

Sat, 14 Jul 2012 00:20:00 +0100

I went to see Richard Hawley play tonight, he was playing only up the road from my house which was really quite decent of him. If he plays in, or anywhere near, your town - GO. He’s a great guitarist, singer, is highly amusing and a thoroughly good egg. He broke his leg recently so had to be wheeled on stage, what a trooper. It was a really LOUD show, I’ve not had that woolly hearing thing you get (I believe it’s called tinnitus) leaving a concert for years. GREAT!

A Question

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:55:19 +0100

Ok, here’s a question. Which is the best way to release digital music, a song (or 2) at a time in the form of ‘singles’, 4 or 5 tracks as an EP or as a whole album at a time? Or all of those things? The reason I ask is that I’ve started recording again (sorry) and I’m thinking about how to release into the wild the cacophonous sounds I am making.

This year’s album, “Cloth Ears”, was completed...

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 14:19:25 +0100

This year’s album, “Cloth Ears”, was completed from scratch in a month (and it sounds like it!) but I think the next one I will go in the opposite direction. Months, maybe years! I can’t guarantee it will be any better though…

This is the new home (have an orange)

This will be the main Mister Fusty site now. Still not sure about the look, no doubt I will tinker incessantly with it.
