I’m trying to move more into using hardware over software, at least in the sense of less plugins more dedicated musical devices- like on my album which released on bandcamp yesterday, the track “2011” was named after the main device I used for the sounds was my 3DS (released in you guessed it, 2011)

I don’t expect or think getting anything new will be on the cards, but any pedals, effect units, sound generators, synths etc that could be found in this budget would be greatly appreciated!

After working on music that honestly was never really that creatively fulfilling, which threw me in the worst state of mind because I felt like I wasn't making something good. I like the albums, don't get me wrong but I'd rather them not be me releasing them.

I spent hours watching Hainbach do tape things that seemed cool to me which I was going to work on for this album however, I had that much music that I was really excited about that I wanted to put it out for release. I am not sure if it all consists of ambient music, however I like genre-bending what I am working on, so this should reflect that.

I plan to work on another album this year hopefully experimenting with tape and old keys, which would be fun for me to use and make some music, however time will tell if I can do that or not, but I shall make it known if I do that goal.

The streaming release is happening on my birthday (sep 15th 2026) however this bandcamp release is not only releasing early but also releasing with a bonus track and pdf which is a gallery of images that I took for this album and effected within photo editing software.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did working on it

With the recent move to Revolution Records / Warner Music, is it possible we could see Lovejoy vinyls in places like HMV in the UK etc or reissues of older releases in new forms or standard forms of vinyl/CDs that aren't limited so that while there is an aspect of collectability for the special releases such as the Splatter OST and White AYA/PB Vinyls, but people who just want them on CD, Vinyl or Cassette can get access to them!

Also petition for Lovejoy to release WU&IO on Minidisc. I don't own a player but I'd buy one for that!

[also can we get like wallpapers of the album covers, I would love to use an official Pebble Brain as a background but since I am a Mac user, it's a lot harder to get backgrounds!]
