Observatory

Summer twilight. The last brush of cool dusk light on suburban blossoms and the warm splashes of electricity.

Everyone’s sleepy.

You are the first to get a tiny teaser of our new song, Calypso - named after the Sea Witch from the Odyssey. I shot a little bit of video of @sad_ivan and Kane recording some demo tracks at my house and put a very early rough demo of the song as soundtrack. I’m starting to take Instagram a little more seriously, as some of you might have noticed. I’ve been meaning to learn to edit video for years. But this is the first piece I’ve ever shared. Trust me, it will get better! This Cack-handed attempt will be my benchmark (it would have been awesome if I’d managed to post it in wide rather than square format for starters) ...

Some Assam tea in the pot for a nice post-coffee treat.

If it gets too hot though, a smart Crumb cools off with a refreshing raid on an unattended watering can. 💦 . .

34C (93F) here in Cape Town. Trinket’s loving it.

Great white #pelicans on our #walk the way to #lunch. Like #galleons under #sail. We also saw a #malachite #kingfisher - our little #jewel with #wings.

Strolling to the #recordstore to sell all my #cds on a #spring #morning. It’s a #medicineday, I had the #13thfloorelevators in my ears and #observatory was #perfect.

#springtime for #observatory on #trill and #lowermain.

I’m always #proud to play in #southafrica’s longest running #surf #rock #band, Krakatoa, with @sad_ivan and @joydemillar. #friday at The Armchair in #observatory #capetown. A #fridaynight that will #speed the #pulse.
