July 30th 2013: Lungful of Liqueur (Single)

Following the release of the debut album, Anubis Horror, in June 2013, comes the latest single release, accompanied by brand new tracks created especially for this release.

Lungful of Liqueur is a late night tale of being too fueled by alcohol to sleep and wanting to shake up the world from the confines of your own bed and your own mind, and sets the tone for the rest of the EP.

I met her in Rattlers - part 1 is a poem written after a night in one of Enfield's worst night spots, having nowhere better to have gone and hoping we wouldn't bump into anyone we knew, San Miguel and Sunsets is a new track capturing an Ibizan vibe and named after an evening spent at Cafe Del Mar and final track, Bleed Me, is another spirit-aided poem, twisted and distorted into a disturbingly atmospheric piece of music.

Hunchbakk's Anubis Horror, out now.

                       

Its been a hive of industry at home lately, 

Ian's had his head down in the laptop, 

beavering away at the art work for his brothers 

coming book, Downloading Nirvana.

at the same time working on images for 

 Anubis Horror's track releases,   

with midnight phone calls for

next-day photo shoots, a proper art studio

with last minute changes, deadlines and 

more changes, its all completed now.

As a dad it's been great seeing the boys 

working as a team again, something

they do regularly. 

Welldone Boys.  

June 1st 2013: Teenaging (single) by Hunchbakk

finally, it's here...

the debut single, a four track package, is now available as a pay-what-you-like download via bandcamp

it has been a long time coming. the release of Teenaging, originally recorded in 2008, heralds the arrival of the full length debut album, Anubis Horror. a trip down memory lane and an industrial take on hip-hop elements, Teenaging follows the path travelled by many as their formative years at school gives way to an errant sense of identity and the prevailing person that we will ultimately become as life shapes us all. the title track of the single is also backed by a chopped up and tortured rendition of the poem 'The Dishonest Truth', the Kaoss pad created and long unavailable 'Base Element' that originally debuted in 2009, and a remix of Teenaging tackled by Tesla aka Matthew Sewell, guitarist and knob-twiddler with North-London djent-metallers UNX, whose debut EP was released earlier this year.



it's been an interesting journey that isn't over yet, but for this release i can't give enough thanks to my brother, Ian Byford, for providing inspired artwork, and to Matthew Sewell, who turned in an amazing remix that really changed the sounds that i have had swimming around my head for so long

so please, download, share and enjoy, and keep an eye out for the forthcoming full length album

October 24th: SoundArt10

this took far longer than it should have done and the end result was nothing like i expected it to be.

what it is, is the first song i have ever written on a guitar, utilising 3 whole chords in true status quo style






inspired by artwork created by Ian Byford

Music created by Glen Byford using a cheap guitar and the 'new' ipad, completed on october 24th 2012
