Doorbell Disconnected by Neil Turpin

I usually play drums in Bilge Pump, but under the circumstances - a global pandemic and all that - I've been busy at home making an album of my own.

Found within are the travels in my head to other cities and continents, remembrances of friends long gone, Cold War romance and the uncertainty of everything versus the certainty of long distance running.

It would not have been possible without overcoming the lingering technophobe within, to which I have to thank Michael Ward for his patient treatment of this new student of home recording.

"A calm, meditative and intricately composed album that reveals Turpin as a skilled multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. The overall mood of the album recalls the wonderful Insignificance by Jim O'Rourke along with hints of Pavement's mood-setting, swan-song Terror Twilight. A real hidden gem!"
