The UK's leading solo bass guitarist - splitting my time between making music and listening to it. That's a pretty diverse life, I think you'll agree.

'Steve Lawson is a brilliant musician. I've known about him and listened to him for many years. He may not be one of the most famous bassists but he is definitely one of the most talented'.

    BECAUSE IT'S THE BEST ALBUM EVER. (Used a download code to get a lossless ALAC version of the album, had the option to add it to my collection... why not ;) )

    I'm a big fan of Janek's playing and writing. The Space Between was exquisite, and this, while a different kind of record, is up there too. Crazy cast of musicians too - Alan Pasqua may well be my favourite pianist on the planet...
  3. Storyboard

    exquisitely crafted cinematic jazz - no testosterone fueled competitive blowing, just great compositions and some amazing improvising over the top... Well worth a listen.

    Waste My Time Waste My Time
    Truly brilliant power pop. You need this in your life. Not least of all cos it's got Julie Slick being awesome on the bass on it.

    Jean has been taking the technique of tapping into unusual musical places for many years - his playing gets more fluid and his compositions richer as time goes on. This is lovely.

    more amazing music from Emmalee - at the intersection of so many things: ambient, chamber music, noise, post-rock... just brilliant.

    Utterly gorgeous music. Yes, I play on it, and have had a copy of it since before it came out, but I just bought it because I HAD to have it in my Bandcamp collection, largely cos YOU need to hear it. It's also the 100th album I've bought on bandcamp :) Listen/Buy/tell your friends.

    Coals Coals
    a truly remarkable album by one of my favourite singers/guitarists/humans on the planet. I've owned this for ages, but just bought it again to add it to my collection here. You need this in your life :)

    May Our Daughters Return Home May Our Daughters Return Home
    I've had this album for years. Needed it in my collection here, so bought it again. All kinds of singer/songwritery goodness, gorgeous arrangements and lyrical brain-food. A brilliant next-step from the also-fabulous Disarm.

    The Fall The Fall
    utterly gorgeous ambient post-rock-ish electronica. They've been releasing it a track at a time for a while, now collected together as an album. Two basses and some drums and bleeps. Great stuff.

    heavy, instrumental awesomeness. Surprisingly varied textures and crushing metal. Good times :)
