My band Deep Hum has a new album out this July. It'll be released via the Bandcamp of our little micro label / collective Bramblescram:

In the meantime please enjoy this abridged music video for the debut single Walk On. Full track on Bandcamp / YT 🐞✨

Should probably also mention for context: this is part of a short collection I've been working on and off for a couple of years called BIG NEWS. Not sure what final form it will take. Might end up being a zine and/or part of a narrative podcast.

Short fiction about a prime minister barricading himself in a Big Tesco. Written last year. Recorded and set to music last week. Shared on Instagram and thought I should post it here as well. Suspect it may become resonant over the next few weeks.

Martin Chitty and I were recently on The Watt From Pedro show (hosted by Mike Watt of the Minute Men) to talk about our project Cottage Vipers and showcase our cool weird tunes. Mike is a gem, Martin is insightful, and I am ... my usual self. Enjoy! 👽✨

Had a great time attending the launch event for @FoldingRockMag tonight - many great readings and an encouraging statement of intent by the editors. Looking forward to reading the first issue 📖✨

[FOX BITES by @lloyd_markham] 'makes inventive use of a well-worn literary motif, using it to consider the workings of power from a perspective not often seen in fiction from Wales. It deserves to be read far more widely.' – Diolch @jlgeorgewrites @newwelshreview @parthianbooks

Was honoured to open for @nothumanhead's 1 year anniversary of Local Fires last Sunday. Read from Fox Bites (out via @parthianbooks), performed with my new band Cottage Vipers, and read something new which got a warmer reception than expected. Lovely, confidence boosting stuff 😊

It's the spooky month and my novel Fox Bites (out now via @parthianbooks) is a spooky book. So it feels like an appropriate time to release the first in a series of short readings set to music and visuals that I have been working on. Hope you enjoy. More Fox Bits to come! 🦋🔥

[Lloyd Markham @lloyd_markham]

The spooky month has nearly reached its zenith. Perhaps it is time for another mini reading from my psychedelic weird lit horror fantasy novel Fox Bites. Available via @parthianbooks 👁️💎🩸

[Lloyd Markham @lloyd_markham]

@FarSouthProject @parthianbooks @paperback_books Aw Magic! Thanks for picking up a copy Des 🙏✨ Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it and how it's changed since those early days on the MPhil ☺️

Big News: My novel Fox Bites has landed on distant shores ✈️🦊✨

[Lloyd Markham @lloyd_markham]

Had a great time at the @neathartsfest yesterday. Big thank you to the organisers, the wonderful @nothumanhead and @GeorgiaCarys, and to the audience! 🙏✨Greatly appreciate your patience and attentiveness - particularly when my ADHD brain would catapult off on tangents, haha😅

[Lloyd Markham @lloyd_markham]

@0zgurUyanik @nothumanhead @GeorgiaCarys Aw no worries Oz. Thank you for the well wishes. And best of luck with your own event on Sunday -- hope it goes well! 😊

[Lloyd Markham @lloyd_markham]

If you're in Neath tonight come down to hear myself, @nothumanhead, and @GeorgiaCarys read from our books and discuss our works and how the places we grew up in influenced them 📖✨
