📢 I've finished a new album. After 5 years of world turmoil, childbirth, and ghost story hunting, it's a heavy and emotional one. I can't wait to share details of how and when it will be released. Now I can finally go and listen to other people's music again!
Giving birth to my second son tomorrow. Shall be taking a short break from this neverending hellride of patriarchal doom to enjoy the promise of new life for a bit 🌸🌺🌹🌳 STAY SAFE 💛
🍓 NEWS 1 of 3 🍓
I'm over the moon to have signed to the amazing
@invadarecordsUK
for my next album, coming later in '23.
I've self-released since GT began in 2009, so it's a MASSIVE honour to be part of this legendary label. Thank you to Redg &
@jetfury
for inviting me in. 🙌
Spent majority of past 4 months waiting to hear if my baby would need cranial surgery in June. He doesn’t. I feel like we’ve dodged another bullet. 💥 As ever THANK YOU

Last night I had the immeasurable honour of performing ‘The Gift’ live with the living legend
@numanofficial
& immense band at Wembley
@OVOArena
- unforgettable! Blown away by the kindness & genuineness of the crew & the whole Numan family. Thank you SO MUCH for having me 🙏 🖤
OUT TODAY. 3yrs in the making with
@nyx_edc
and an incredible team mostly comprised of women. It couldn't feel more timely and right to release this now:
MY MOTHER is a frontline NHS Mental Health OT - currently working 12hr (minimum) days in her mid-70s, saving lives by preventing suicide every single day. This is the hardest month of her career. I’m deeply proud of her.

FFS. "Selling out" to some ppl these days is simply just being successful at a what is a brutal, mostly impossible business of chance, where only a tiny percentage actually manage to earn a living from it, and usually work fckn hard to maintain it. What the fck more do ppl want?
You got two choices. And this is hard for non musicians to grasp (I don’t mean to sound rude) You either stay at level one forever and eventually play pubs again with 25 people in. Or you try to master the art of commerciality whilst not off loading any of your onions.
Only took five years, Black Dog is out today on
@invadarecordsUK
- a wonderful label without whom this release wouldn’t have been possible. Huge thanks to them and everybody who helped me make & release it.
I've been so touched by the level of support and excitement I've had from so many people in response to this tweet. And from so many artists I look up to or who have inspired me to get here. Thank you for the dangerous confidence boost and your faith in me! 🙏🤯💫

Lifelong obsession with Giger’s Alien and the film franchise. It only occurred to me recently that the artwork I made for Unflesh is an echo of the Xenomorph, albeit as a girl in school joggers. 😬

I'm 75% through a gluten-free San Miguel and I'm feeling compelled to tell you all that I am 100% terrified about my new album coming out (release date coming fairly soon). I know I've made something I'm proud of, but sending it out into the world is another matter...
As it's the summer solstice, here's a reminder that I'm performing 'Deep England' with
@nyx_edc
this Saturday at
@BarbicanCentre
- and likely one of the last performances we'll do. Bring an apple for the interval.
Grateful to brave folk like
@The_Anchoress
for consistently and proactively speaking out against the increasingly devastating fuckery of streaming. Can only dream about how much 0.1p per stream (or more!!!!) would be such a game changer for all of us.
A giant thank you thread to those who came to
@BarbicanCentre
last night to see me &
@nyx_edc
perform Deep England. Felt incredible to be on that stage & receive the standing ovation you kindly gave us. 🔥

If the teachers didn’t give you the A level results you were hoping for, don’t worry. I got a C and 2Us and I’ve ended up happy, with loads of friends and a Bentley.
VERY PROUD be a small part of this excellent album 🌎 🐉 🔥 - No.1 in physical charts 💥 No.2 overall WOW⚡️ Thank you

for inviting me in.
For tomorrow's

Friday, 'The Wastelands' is available as a digital download. It won't appear anywhere else (legally), so if you fancy it now, or tomorrow when it's 100% £ to artists (and also my birthday) then head here:
We're very shocked and saddened to hear of the death of the brilliant Mira Calix. As part of the Warp family for more than 20 years, she was a true trailblazer who knew no bounds. RIP Chantal
Rick Astley. What a seemingly lovely bloke from Newton-le-willows. Watched his CBeebies Bedtime story on Monday with the kids, and now he’s in my feed daily for pissing off Morrissey. I love it. 🙌
SO BOOSTED that Deep England by me &

is No. 10 on

We’re very sad to report that Vangelis has died at the age of 79. His 1970s albums like ‘Heaven And Hell’ and ‘Albedo 0.39’ made him a synth superstar and his ‘Blade Runner’ soundtrack is unquestionably one of the greatest film scores ever. Farewell to an electronic music giant.
Been making music for 20 odd years but I STILL get caught out by my own naivete in this industry. If it's not the stale old fart side of things, then it's the hot new guff side of things. Generally, it is mostly just a lot of 🌬️🌬️🌬️
Gary Numan & producer Ade Fenton invited me to sing on 3 tracks from their new album ‘Intruder’ - and it’s out today.
Here’s one of my favourites 🐉 💥 🎤

It’s hard to know who and what to trust these days…
But this incredible clip nails it
Simply:
Don’t trust idiots
And how do you spot an idiot?
Look for the people who are cruel…

I was at the hospital ALONE for the 12 week scan of my 2nd child as no partners were allowed in. It felt shit, so I ache for anyone who was going through real trauma and bereavement during this time too. FVCK THE TORIES to hell. 🔥
Doing that kind of tweet where I’m telling you something new (and possibly quite surprising to some of you) is coming out tomorrow…. but can’t tell you what. 🤷🏻♀️ 😑 anyway. Wooooo
Out today on

8 April. Film premiere on

same day. 🤘 Thanks again to Invada for backing this!
Yeah, I mean you could spend a day playing with and finely tweaking plug-ins, or simply just burp into the mic and create something that sounds 100% better. SRSLY, I just did it.
My 4yr old (who was clearly born in the wrong decade) wants to send Vangelis a video of himself playing Chariots of Fire and Alpha on the piano. Anyone know if there's a way to contact him or his mgmt/agent? I promised I'd try! "Wish upon a star..." and all that. 💫
Just had the extreme pleasure of seeing Sisters With Transistors. So inspired by every voice I heard in it. Powerful, sad and exciting all at once. Shout out to
@Marta_Salogni
for the amazing sound edit👌
The BLACK DOG album campaign is accompanied by some new portraits taken by the amazing photographer

big thanks to

In ‘23 I released an album on
@invadarecordsUK
& made another film score, but generally a it was rough ride of a year. I don’t make resolutions, but I sure as shit want to have more fun in ’24. Good then, that it kicks off with this at
