I don't know how he does it, frankly.
Ash Cooke, one-time leader of Derrero, now records from his home as Pulco, and he manages to find tunes seemingly with ease at a fairly rapid pace.
He makes this look effortless, really.
And in a year where's he's given listeners a great album in Small Thoughts, and another delightful EP in Sketchbook Season, Ash has now gifted us with yet another batch of free tunes in Bear Bones.
These 4 songs, recorded on the Dictaphone(!), are pretty strong. They're a touch more folky than some bits on those other releases and they work despite the limitations of the recording method.
