Panting Deer

Panting Deer is a quiet indie folk project—gentle songs of faith, longing, and hope, carried on warm, minimal arrangements.

Panting Deer is starting to find a home online.

https://t.co/wewtgX9Ec2 is slowly becoming the central place for songs, sessions, and everything around the project. still building, but it’s coming together.

@tittiscotti what a beautiful dog. it is very similar to one i had and i still miss him

[Panting Deer @pantingxdeer]

i think quiet music finds the right people eventually

Not everything’s acoustic guitars and overthinking…

Away from the music, I’m a big baseball fan.

So tonight I’ll be watching the @Cubs — as usual, getting far too invested for someone sitting in the UK.

No songs tonight - just baseball.

This mug sat beside me through a lot of early mornings.

Somewhere in the last house move it disappeared.

I still occasionally look for it without thinking.

quietly keep finding its way back into my life.

In some ways, projects like Panting Deer feel like returning to something that started a long, long time ago!

I came across this photo recently — Christmas when I was about two, sitting with my gran and a little toy piano.

There were plenty of toys around the room, but that’s where I stayed.

I didn’t know it then, but no matter what else might be going on, creating music would...

An honourable mention goes to Alanis Morissette. I couldn't choose just one of her albums as I think they are all excellent! #InternationalWomensDay

[Panting Deer @pantingxdeer]

If you’re looking for something to listen to today, I’d highly recommend spending some time with any of these records.

What albums by women have shaped the way you hear music? #InternationalWomensDay

[Panting Deer @pantingxdeer]

Yesterday I shared five albums that have shaped the way I write songs. Today, for International Women’s Day, I wanted to highlight five records by incredible women that have had just as big an impact on me.

[Panting Deer @pantingxdeer]

Each of these records, although different to one another, carry such a strong voice — fearless songwriting, emotional honesty, and songs that stay with you long after they finish.

They’ve all influenced the way I listen to music and the way I think about writing songs.
