Return of the Superhero

 Well, I appear to be out of Spotify-bot-jail and my stuff is being shared again so it's time for Superhero to be re-released on all the streamers.

Get yourself some politically-relevant orchestral funk in your life.

You know you want to.

G. Stoner Hilcot is not AI

 It's an interesting measure of how fast these things change that when Manifesto was released in 2021, people recognised that G. Stoner Hilcot is a pseudonym and an anagram of, and homage to, the late Gil Scott Heron. But no-one suggested that it was an AI model.

Four years on, with the recent release of Superhero, the default assumption seems to be that it's an AI creation.

So, to set that record straight, I can confirm now that G. Stoner Hilcot is a real person. That's not his real name obviously, but he's a real person. Who just happens to be able to do a pretty mean impression of the original GSH.

Some people have asked for a bit more detail about him, but he's chosen to remain anonymous so obviously I'm not going to betray that. But he is real. He feels, he breathes. And he gets pissed off by what he sees around us. 

He just does it in a very particular style.

Superhero - now on streaming and download sites

It's another State of the Nation piece from me and G. Stoner Hilcot.

Superhero is now on all your favourite streaming services. 

And the ones you hate.

Superhero - new single with G. Stoner Hilcot

This one won't be on the next album, it's a standalone track that feels pretty appropriate right now.

This might be the quickest I've gone from idea to release (about two weeks from idea to release) so I expect there's some rawness in there that's accidental - but it'll fit with the deliberate stuff as well.

G. Stoner Hilcot returns...

And he's still pissed off.

Currently on Bandcamp advance release but will be hitting all the streaming sites in due course.

New single, Lizard Skin, out today

My poor neglected website!

Blimey it has been nearly a year since I updated this. Oops. Oh well, not a lot has happened to be fair. The album launch went well and some people said some nice stuff about it. I've started working on the next one - this will be a bit different I think as I've got lots of people collaborating this time. And this release went live last week.

(But those of you who follow me on bandcamp will know it's been there a while. Pro-tip, it's where the next one will be coming first as well. Hopefully fairly soon.)
