  1. Hi Mastodon,

    I’d like to reintroduce myself and introduce my album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy”.

    I write songs and over the past 6 years roughly, I’ve collected 10 from about 100 to be recorded, mixed and mastered. As of today, those 10 songs are available to listen to at bandcamp as the album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy” (alastairleonard.bandcamp.com/a)

    There are songs about fleeting marketplace romances (Sunflowers), and going in search of your life’s purpose (Desert Rose). There are other songs about taking the easy road and waking up late (Mid-Morning Guy) and the housing crisis in Australia (Yoshino Removals). There are even more songs — about bad haircuts (West Coast Haircut) and the disappearance of the bees (Honey Bee). The title track follows a pair of cufflinks given to me as a young man and their trajectory through the following decades. All the lyrics are up there so you can read along while listening if that’s your preference.

    The music is roughly what I’d call indie-pop including jangly guitars numbers and piano ballads but there are forays into country twang, latin percussion, and doof. Some of my influences include #jeffreylewis #bjork #davidberman #cassandrajenkins #dangelo #leonardcohen #hopesandovalandthewarminventions #lucindawilliams #jenslekman #jonathanrichman #ninasimone #arethafranklin #pixies #thecure #thefieldmice #thesundays #thelemonheads #themagneticfields #tmbg #thegobetweens #motown

    Attention is a commodity these days and I don’t expect too many people will hear the record; but if you do feel inclined to listen and can find a moment, I hope you find something joyful in these songs. Creating A Cufflink-Wearing Guy has been a labour of love. Mostly love, a little labour. Until next time, keep looking on the bright side. Thanks for reading. AL
