Glasgow-based music writer, specialising in electronic music, queer perspectives and Scotland’s local scenes
I’ve been writing about independent music for more than half a decade, including bylines in The Skinny, GoldFlakePaint, Loud and Quiet, The Scotsman, The Quietus, CLASH, New Statesman and a handful of DIY zines. I’ve interviewed some personal heroes, like Flying Lotus, A.G. Cook and Beverly-Glenn Copeland. I also write album reviews, columns and essays.
I’m always looking for new projects to be a part of, so do get in touch.
Recent work
Beverly Glenn-Copeland
This goldflakepaint interview acts as a career retrospective for a boundary-pushing artist finally getting his dues. It was published in the magazine’s gorgeous Moses Sumney curated issue, and was a career highlight to write.
AG Cook: The Rates
An explorative interview with the PC Music figurehead on his favourite underrated acts both new and old. Cook’s perspectives on a range of topics from cover songs to simulation theory were drawn out of this great chat.
Christine and the Queens Cover Feature
My recent cover feature with Chris with Clash Magazine. You can read it here.
I also make music! I got into making beats a few weeks into lockdown, mostly as a distraction. I never expected to be at a point where I was comfortable releasing something full-length. But here we are.
Tape One was written with a trip to the highlands in mind, the friends and family I'm missing, and of course, the magic of a good night out.
