flakebelly: genre-defying songwriter, blending indie, acoustic, and psychedelic soundscapes. Based in the Western Isles of Scotland.

A raw voyage through psych alt-folk, fractured tape loops, and splintered acoustics. The Boy in the Diving Bell is my latest album - shaped by hand and run through a 1960s reel-to-reel, where hiss and warped textures twist the songs into uneasy shapes. Lyrically, it is a reckoning with ghosts of the past and the weight of unfinished business - fragments of memory and surreal dispatches blurred into sound. Imperfections remain, first takes often final, capturing the frailty and persistence of a person making music in a room.
