Roll Up Your Sleeves (Live on KEXP)


Video for our single Roll up your Sleeves


Video for our single Quiet Little Voices


Amsterdam Acoustics - Short Bursts



"Quiet Little Voices is a rousing, sinewy, post-punk romp that crashes its way towards a Wedding Present-style duelling guitars denouement." The Guardian

"They’ve already perfected a sound that sits between post-punk and pop, soaring choruses saved from over-sentimentality by stark, even bleak verses." The Independent '5 bands to watch

"Much like label mates Frightened Rabbit, WWJP are all about the rugged reality of love, confusion, and creating visual music. Their closed eyes and open hearts carry ‘Quiet Little Voices’ tonight - and might well carry it onto radio waves too" Artrocker

"Blistering post-punk anthems of the highest pedigree: powerful and tuneful in just the right measures, with lead singer Adam Thompson's understated vocals keeping proceedings in check just as they threaten to spiral out of control. It's a definite statement of intent.” Q Magazine

“Rocketeering knapsacks gain the stratosphere-tickling booster of an anthemic Clydeside chorus, and we have lift off” NME

“Indie-pop pickery with brazen aplomb” The List

"An impeccable grab bag of influences and a miraculously accessible romantic sensibility." Skinny

"Seething with a newfound intent, their crisp, flighty choruses and sure-footed narratives are bolder and more purposeful than ever before" Drowned in Sound

"tedius, vapid and terrible" –a guy on the radio

Bonjour! Have a listen to the new collaboration of poetry/music with TOHAN, Incantations at San Tomà. From Transcriptions of Time, the poem was written with memory of love for a place in Venice and with belief in new love acheived in a place of the same name in Toulouse, ten years later. This poem also connects ground-ocean-sky, senses of weightlessness acheived in them.

In addition, NEW RELEASES:

Why the WilloW



PDF-download / Paperback

featuring poems recently published in Paraphilia, BOWL, Antique Children & Pirene's Fountain


TranSynPhony


The Transcriptions of Time Audio Book


DVD / MP3-download

all new recordings of the entire book text, 6.4 hours audio

~ Thank you & Have a Beautiful 2010 ~
