Paddy Steer and guest Twitcher

Tombstome

Sonic tinkerer Paddy Steer dives into the realms of lo-fi pop, new age, acid jazz and cosmic funk like a kid with a new box of crayons.

‘sounds like a Swiss cuckoo clock made of egg boxes and horsehair, glued together by an African Moog player in a Vietnamese iron monger’s shop’ - Graham Massey A Zelig‑like figure in Manchester’s musical story, Paddy Steer is a multi‑instrumental shape‑shifter whose talents have touched bass, drums, Hawaiian guitar and more, often all at once. His long‑running Homelife project produced six albums of intricate, wonder‑filled music, brewed in his attic and brought to the stage as a small, ever‑evolving orchestra. Paddy is a quietly obsessive craft‑maker, building instruments as much as he plays them. His recordings have a cartoon‑like density, full of homemade textures, vivid colours and oddball inventions, like a cuckoo clock rebuilt from egg boxes and cosmic circuitry. Live, he rejects clean “immaculate reproduction” in favour of glorious chaos. From behind a stacked tangle of self‑made gear, he sings through vocoders, batters xylophones, triggers shaking limbs and launches funk-driven, technicolour storms of sound. Part space‑program pantomime, part punk Arkestra, he’s a one‑man cosmos: unpredictable, joyous and completely unique. Audiences don’t so much watch Paddy as fall into his world, heads spinning, feet tangled, surrendering to an alien groove machine that seems part Victorian time traveller, part future jazz insect, always out of time and out of this world. https://paddysteer.bandcamp.com/album/spoor Twitcher is the solo lo‑fi music project of Lisa O’Grady.Her sound is rooted in Casio organs, nostalgic synths, folky wanderings, found sounds, gentle instrumentals, and soft vocal melodies. Her music has been described as “feudal folk” and "Enya meets The Wicker Man". https://twitcher.bandcamp.com/track/baalbek-demo
