Well, as always, I love this. I was thinking of the wonderful acoustic version of Parachute that you shared when Lobes was released and wondering if you would record a new version of it, and then I remembered we’d also heard an acoustic version of Less From You back before Christmas, so I went back to have a listen to that one and I have to say it’s equally good but I love how the two versions are subtly different.

Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. Thanks so much for doing this. It’s a brilliant idea.

Bravo 👏 Thanks for doing this. Can’t wait to hear Human Resources. Will this be available to purchase once you have released each track? 🙏🏻

Not exactly sure what will become of these tracks, Justin. We’ll discuss in this space!

A good argument for putting it together as an album in the end: seeing LOBES Reduced artwork would be such a treat

Film tip for your travels if anywhere has AppleTV+: 'Fingernails' starring Jessie Buckley and Riz Ahmed. It's a surreal rom com with the perfect balance of liminalism, yearning and gruesomeness!

That's a tough balance to nail. Will check it out!

As a man named Roger Knight, it would insult your intelligence were I to claim to be one of your Turkish fans; entry level understanding of the language would tell you that it simply doesn't use the letters k, g or h in the manner that my name does. Nevertheless, here's a photo of me in Antalya this very morning, reading this post over breakfast at a local bakery (check that telltale Turkçe chai). Honourary Turkish fan, right?

So far, Roger, you have the strongest claim. You may be our Number One Turkish Fan.
