Super-proud to have launched our new Everything But The Girl album, Blue Reservoir, on Wednesday. Amazing full-hearted reaction from everyone. Thank you, all. And a shout to the crowds at the MOTH Club last weekend. Three more top shows. So great to see the news the place has finally seen off the developers!
This evening, I’m back to my usual quiet crate-digging and I’ve added a few more gems to my long-running playlist, SpinCyle. Among them, new songs from Star Moles, Fionn Regan and Pollyfromthedirt, and vintage cuts from Warren Zevon and Darondo. Raise a glass to the new album. Here I am pretending to find a cool chord at RAK Studios earlier this summer during the recording.

Late summer sun this afternoon. I’ve just updated SpinCycle. My endless playlist since 2014. Now over 1,500 tunes. 100 hours of music. Gems today include Fred Potts, Way Dynamic, Sofie Birch, Steve Winwood and Phylipe Nunes Araújo. Link in bio for streaming options ❤️🤘

Sunday morning record fair with @traceythorn to pick up some vintage vinyl today. Nothing like a bit of crate-digging to brighten the weekend. Got a glorious afternoon ahead spinning some of these. Here’s what I grabbed. Pop over to Tracey’s page to see her selection.

I devote a lot of my downtime to conservation projects and birding at my local Brent Reservoir. And here is a pic I took this morning at 7am of the fourth of our new Common Tern chicks about to fledge and leave one of the protected shingle rafts we installed in 2024 to try and save the colony.
Twenty years ago there were 44 breeding pairs of Common Tern at Brent Reservoir, but neglect and dilapidation saw the number dwindle to 2 pairs in 2023. This year has seen 6 breeding pairs. It is going in the right direction.
The only downside is the new rafts have also attracted a new colony of breeding Black-headed Gulls. Competition for shingle space has been fierce and it is slowing the Common Tern revival.
In the winter we will install bamboo rods in half the rafts to dissuade the early-breeding gulls from nesting in them next year. We’ll remove them just before the Common Terns arrive at the end of April. Fingers crossed.

Outside today playing guitar, listening to Tavinho Moura, struggling to read in the heat, filling up watering cans for the garden because of the hosepipe ban. Been down to the reservoir most mornings. A few early autumn waders arriving - green sandpiper, lapwing. A whimbrel was calling high over the dam early on Saturday. We have some new recordings which we’re mixing this week. Everything coming together. Hope to have some music for you all soon. And I’ve added some fresh gems to SpinCycle, my never-ending playlist, inc Maria Bethania, Pollyfromthedirt, Tom Waits. Now over 1500 songs. 104 hours. 22.5k saves. Find it at linktr.ee/benwatt or via link in bio. Dive in.

Just back from Rough Trade on Denmark Street where our son Blake and band members were doing a @family.stereo album launch. Beautiful songs from a great record. And The Thread is Album of the Month too! So happy for him this week. He’s on his way!

Sitting in garden transcribing the chords to a couple of my favourite Edu Lobo songs - Considerando and Cidade Nova. Not helped by a man digging up the road outside! Taking a break from sketching out arrangement ideas as we have three more studio dates next week to record vocals and overdubs. Lovely to be back in the middle of a new project.

In the studio working on some new songs with Tracey. So nice to be back in it. We had a few days in Corfu mid-month - first summer break for ages. Sea-swimming, fish, crumbling Venetian plaster, Alpine Swifts and Byzantine churches. Really great. Also updated SpinCycle, my long-running playlist, with a few current earworms inc Mildred, Pedro Ricardo, Nick Hakim. Now over 100 hrs of music. All yours. Jump in. Links in bio 🥳

Hey, all. Played two memorable shows at Union Chapel this week with Tracey. Here’s me looking for the lost chord at the soundcheck. Huge shout to Rex and Blake and everyone involved in making them happen. It’s been quite the journey. Elsewhere, I’ve been listening to Jorge Ben Jor, Krononaut, Ambrose Akinmusire, Gillian Welch. Spending mornings at Brent Reservoir, arriving at dawn. And I’ve also updated SpinCycle today. My never-ending playlist started in 2014. Dive in. Link in bio. Pic: @edwardmbishop

Out on my local Brent Reservoir today, saving Canada goslings accidentally born inside one of the nesting tern rafts 💚😍
Thanks to Phil, Tim and Ruby at @phoenixoutdoorcentre for sorting out the boat!

Thrilled for Blake that after a run of self-released singles and a lot of hard work, he’s got a deal with @bella_union
Album out in July. First single from it under his alias @family.stereo is out now.
Great production by bandmate @sam.h.williams and cracking mix by Paul Gregory - @gregopau - of Lanterns on the Lake too.
Hope you dig it. Dive in 🤘

The ongoing appeal of these gigs Tracey and I have been doing at the MOTH Club in Hackney is a wonderful thing. I met people in the queue from Japan, Los Angeles, Dublin and Newcastle the past three nights. And last night we celebrated a year of shows.
21 sell-outs so far (including 2 at Union Chapel next month), so we’ve added SIX more at MOTH - three in June, three in September. Tickets on sale tomorrow 6pm BST (April 2) via DICE. Jump over to @ebtgofficial for more info.
We owe so much to Rex and Blake in our band, to James on sound, to Ross and Adam on backline, to Tom, Lucy, Sarah and the Eat Your Own Ears team for putting the shows on, to Kelly and all MOTH for having us. And to the passionate crowds who bring the whole thing alive night after night. Thank you ❤️🔥
