Music

Are you looking for Pilchard, pioneer of bolloxcore, shitnoise, and hard guff? Good. You found him. He’s me.

I’ve been writing and releasing music as Pilchard since about 1997 when I first encountered Bob the Builder who has a cat of the same name.

Prior to that, I was always buggering about with something noisy; taking stuff apart, fixing it, messing with it, hitting it and so on. I still do that now but in a slightly more organised fashion.

You probably didn’t come here for my life story, so here’s some music:

337

My second studio album has finally arrived! It’s called, 337, and it’s largely inspired by my surroundings down on the south coast of the UK.

Here, you will find a bit of drum and bass, some IDM, hip-hop, and even a touch of house music… I know, right? House.

King of Boscombe

King of Boscombe was kind of an accident. I was thinking about that difficult second album (which is almost complete, by the way) but got sidetracked and made this instead.

This EP is basically a sandwich made of breakbeat bread with a filling of downtempo hip-hop beats.

Tracklisting:

  1. King of Boscombe
  2. Two Headed Bullet
  3. Tiny Raptor
  4. Made of Bees
  5. King of Boscombe (Memoraphile Remix)
