Wow, I still can’t quite believe my baby Fur and Gold is 20 years old this year. Feeling proud that my debut album became exactly what I wanted it to be creatively, pure and instinctive... That time in my life was incredibly special, and seeing how the record continues to resonate and what it still means to you touches my bat lightning heart in ways you’ll never know 🖤

The 2025 remaster is available now on all streaming platforms, as well as on vinyl and CD.

My debut record Fur and Gold is almost 20 years old, and she still holds such a special place in my heart… listening back through the whole album recently, side by side with producer @davidkosten brought a proud tear to my eye… no compromise, tons of space, shit midi sounds, tongue in cheek lyrics, thunder and lightning, girl group BV’s, heartbreak and magic… the record I had been waiting my whole life to make.

To mark 20 years, the record has been remastered by the award-winning Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios and will be accompanied by a treasure trove of early demos from 2005-6, alongside BBC Live Lounge and Rob Da Bank sessions. The special anniversary edition will be released on 180g audiophile black vinyl and as an expanded double CD, with unseen photography from the era. It will be released on February 13th 2026! Pre-orders are open now.

For now, you can find the remastered album in its digital form wherever you listen to music 🐎

If you be the universe
your cries would mimic a century of pain
the voices of whales enslaved
the hollars of women angels, witches and dreamers
their hearts all breaking in one glass shard
or fragments of history layered upon
layers of loss
like fossil shells in the palm of your hand
turned over
Rubbed
Marvelled at and strewn over the cliff.

The Motherwitch
Born from the transformative experience of motherhood during Covid, when I noticed I was suddenly animal. My body morphed and provided, in an act of blind servitude and quiet devotion. I returned, momentarily, to cycles and seasons — through naps and breastfeeds — writing this music in any spare moment I could, methodically mapping out the experience of having my mind slowly blown by something so seemingly common. I was suddenly reconnected to every living, conscious being, and it hurt with its profundity. I cried and cried because I was alive. I was vulnerable. I was tapped into the potent mother energy, and I was outraged. A more potent, heightened archetype of the aspects of myself that are a mother was waking up, an overarching matriarchal force that I wanted to envelop people in. I named her The Motherwitch because she, unlike I, represents a universal force. One we can all tap into.

Aries Season ♈︎ Card of the Month: Garden Jester

☆ Playfulness
☆ Humour
☆ Verdant Magic

Under the watchful eye of two crescent moons, the naked garden jester carries a jug of stars and flings seeds and
flowers at everyone and everything. Our Green Patron Saint of Humour laughs a jolly “ho ho” at all that life throws her way. Her headdress is imbued with hearts and foliage. Calla lilies and angel’s trumpets sing choral ditties as the jester prances and dances. A string of medicinal echinacea flowers falls out of her cosmic jug, and lightning bolts shoot hearts out of her fingers.

This card is a celebration of life’s ironies and supposed mistakes. It is an encouragement to move with humour and joy when things don’t appear to be going your way! In a universe of magic, there are never true mistakes, only seeds of growth. There is always a time to laugh, to learn, to celebrate and be the jester in the serious court of life.

Happy Mother’s Day

Letter to My Daughter was written for my daughter Delphi. It was inspired by a book of letters I started writing before she was born and is also inspired by Maya Angelou’s book of the same name, Letter To My Daughter 🫶

I’m so excited to share my comic interview with Natasha Khan of @batforlashes, which appears in my new book, Unconditional, Stories of Women and the Animals They Love.

Natasha spoke to me about her beloved horse, Scooby Doo, who helped guide her through a difficult time in her adolescence. We connected over our experiences with motherhood, and our search for meaning in the natural world.

I can’t express how much it means to me to have Natasha included in this collection - someone I regard as one of the most incredible vocalists and artists in indie music. I’ve looked up to her for so long, and I know you’ll love her story too!

Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden.

This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
