A.L.F. - cover/interpretation of This Is The A.L.F. from the album The Ungovernable Force by Conflict. The names mentioned in the track are people serving sentences around the world for their beliefs. Visit animalliberationpressoffice.org/NAALPO/prisoners/ for more information and how you can support them.

Thanks to:
Bob Mortimer - yes, the Bob Mortimer, the funniest person in the world - for using the words "gratuitous biscuits" in an episode of Athletico Mince. I immediately decided I wanted to use the phrase in an album title.

Mariam's friend Firas, who "introduced me" to the existence of laughing hippos while standing outside The Old Hairdressers in Glasgow. See above.

GRMMSK for the instruments and inspiration. - grmmsk.tumblr.com

Darren for releasing this - the ultimate shot in the arm for an anxiety ridden loner like me. Eternal gratitude.

Everybody I've met either in person or virtually since 2014 when I rediscovered independent music. There's far too many to mention but hopefully you know who you are.
