Thanks for visiting this pretty old website!

I am still actively making music, and at the time of writing have a new album near completion. In fact kind of two. I will no longer be posting here, but will leave the site up for the time being for archival purposes.

For updates, probably the best bet is my Instagram account or twitter @_kelpe. If you’re a spotify user, please do give me a follow, here’s my artist page.

There is also a mailing list sign up button elsewhere on this site – or drop me a line at music@kelpe.co.uk.

See you around!

This is a restrospective post as I haven’t been posting much on here – but just wanted to drop my latest album here (as I have a new one, or two, on the way!).

Kyverdale Road is my most recent LP, full of synths, guitars and drums all played by me at home. Check it out here on Bandcamp (where there are still a handful of CDs for sale, at the time of writing), or below on the Spotify player. It’s also available everywhere else to stream and download.

Here’s my album from 14th February 2020.

Below is an opportunity listen on Spotify, but if you don’t have access to that I’ve put some free download codes on this post below.

Here are the codes, redeemable at http://kelpe.bandcamp.com/yum – if one has been used just try the next one.

Take care and hope you are healthy

6 track EP from 2019 which I didn’t get around to posting about.

A new single:

Last year I released an alphabetical series of tracks under this weird Polymar name – which at one point was going to be a pseudonym. In my head the Polymar project could be a new workspace to explore a more minimal and meditative sound, and an opportunity to work with more expansive durations and soundscapes.

At the time of producing them I thought they were sounding quite different from my normal output to justify a different name but in the end I decided, actually, this is just more Kelpe, some of the best stuff I’ve done recently, and I don’t want it to get lost out there – so I released the tracks under my own name but just with the Polymar title, allocating an alphabetical letter to add on the end of each title, A, B, C and such. In my mind I always thought that the tracks should be listened to as a whole in order, but when I eventually came to assemble all the tracks into an album, it came out way too long since some of the tracks were up to 15 minutes long. So back to the drawing board a bit, I reworked the tracks into a more album friendly format, sometimes adding new sounds and remixing. During this process I was also working on new tracks to finish off the album.

Anyway, the result of all this is ‘A Polymar Compendium’ – a 16 track, 64 minute album which hopefully works as a nice coherent listen.

As well as digital formats, the album is available on a limited number cassette tape with deluxe 4 flap double sided fold out featuring the artwork that went along with the tracks and more. Finally, a limited CD with onbody print in a digipak with clear tray. I designed the packaging for these myself and they’re available on Bandcamp. Limited to 50 copies each.

The second instalment in my Polymar series is out now.

There’s so many different places online to maintain now that I sometimes don’t get round to updating this website with new releases.
