On Violet Row in Westcot. This is an album that I made while living in Cardiff. It was a funny life, I didn't really have friends and I didn't really know the town or have anything to do there except for just be around. I liked living in Cardiff. It's hard to say how happy I was but I certainly liked it. I loved living with Alice and Emma and I loved walking round the velodrome near my house to watch the cyclists go by and I loved to go on down past the weir and along the Taff and back again. That was about all I did. And occasionally I would make it out of bed and record a song. But usually I just knocked on Emma's door or ate some potatoes or went to the velodrome. It was a big open air track and in the centre of it was a sort of fake road system with a crossing and a set of traffic lights. It was there to teach kids about road safety I think. I loved it at the velodrome, the crossing felt like a theme park, this little false reality just sitting in Cathays. And I liked to see the cyclists go by, especially the fast group because I liked the feeling as they whizzed past me. But I usually missed them. Anyway my ten months of Cathaysian living was odd but I enjoyed it so much, and I think the songs on this album captured my environment and mood better than any other album I have made. That was really the aim of all my records up to Violet Row, to print myself off. I can hear myself wandering around, a little lost for where to go or what to do. Either in bed or chatting with Emma or watching the Maindy Flyers. It's a somewhat bittersweet sound but I love it, and I dearly hope that you do too. Ike xxx

Endless thanks to my two beautiful Cardiff friends, Alice and Emma. I would have been a very unhappy person without the both of you there.
