Collaborations

I love being a solo artist but i also thrive on creative collaborations. I get really sick of my shtick after a while and collaborations inject new processes and ideas into what would otherwise be a very flat and stagnant musical journey. Recent collaborations include Cat Canary with the Grins and Novparolo.

My most enduring collaboration has been with Lisa Moscatiello, whose commanding yet nuanced alto is reminiscent of Tracy Thorn and Chrissie Hynde. She has done vocal duty on numerous Arthur Loves Plastic tracks, some of which she went on to record acoustically with her amazing backup band about 10 years ago. We also wrote songs together as the Space Dots which you can hear below. I look forward to the privilege of having her sing on the release that is now in the tinkering stages.
