about

Martin Aimless

Do you have a perfectly serviceable if sometimes underwhelming life that you should be more grateful for than perhaps you are?

Has the shiny bauble of youth's promise tarnished with time?

Do you like indian bread products?

If so, you, like us, are Martin(a) Aimless. Welcome to our club.

Bankerholiday

Bank holidays are punctuation marks in the vertiginous rush of the year, possibly a semi colon, though maybe just a comma. During these briefest of hiatuses (hiati? or is that an island?), one might attempt to reassemble the jigsaw pieces of one's sanity before launching back into the madness all over again, unless the kids have covered aforementioned pieces in jam and hidden them behind the radiator where the spiders live.

Circus

An older song from our oeuvre (had to check spelling if that last word) we thought we'd do a new version of it to bring it slap bang into 2022, so we rolled up sleeves and had a critical listen to the original. Turns out we still like what we did in the first place, so here it is again.
