On June 6th, my new single 'If We Could Talk'will be available on all major platforms ✨️

🎙It was recorded, mixed & mastered at @wesliderecords by @bombassett & @_lucasloftus

🎥 The music video will also be out 06/06 and was filmed and edited by @sheen.richie

Huge thank you to the people listed above for their services and helping me finish this single.

I wrote this song in April/May 2024 in the run-up to my album recording session. The weeks were running thin, but I felt I really needed one more solo acoustic piece to finish up the track listing. The idea of forcing something together short notice that would feel anything but contrived seemed ambitious and in complete opposition to my approach on the rest of the songs. The goal was to try and open a more pragmatic conversation with the instrument. Rather than trying to impose my ideals of what music I wanted to hear and what it should contain, as felt I had in other projects, what songs did the guitar have to show me at this point?

However, it would not play itself. Maybe some 2 weeksbefore the session, in one of many nights searching at the acoustic, I think I stumbled upon the first note of the melody, the chord, and the ostinato all at once. The song then came like following a trail, one idea leading inevitably to the next. Less like I was composing and more like I was remembering something I'd long forgotten.

Fast forward to January this year, and an opportunity to make a video came along, but a location and audio recording would be needed. Having just met Lucas and becoming aware of Slide, it seemed like a no-brainer to record this song again for a single release, now that it was much more under my fingers.

JIAL ‘Antlers’ CD is out now.

I couldn’t be more proud of @heyjial for bringing his original writing out into the world, independently releasing Antlers in full on the 17th Feb 2026.
Adding a new physical release to the shelves with a bass credit of my own is always a pinch-me moment, especially when it’s underpinning music this beautiful and innovative.

JIAL - Antlers
17th February 2026
Guitars + Writing: Josh Lamdin
Drums: Charlie Ian Russell
Double Bass: Myself

A million thank yous to Josh for inviting me to take part.
Order a copy now to support independent original music!

There was a snake in the window of the Green Note and when you went inside you were struck by a miasma of acoustic melodies. Welcome to the stage JIAL, Louis Alberry and the Omam Dawn trio. They blew a kind and attentive crowd away last Monday. Thank you for coming down and the warmest thanks to Tabitha Wykeham for creating our favourite poster yet. Hugs & hisses and we hope to see you at our next showcase on the 12th of March - Cavendish Arms xx

Antlers will be out in full on Tuesday Feb 17th ✨️

These 8 songs I wrote between 2021-2024 document a time of change. Projects, perspectives, friendships old and new, to finally moving from Hereford to London to keep pursuing music 🎶

Featuring:
@basstunnicliffe 🎻
Charlie Ian Russell 🥁

I can't thank Ben & Charlie enough for all their hard work and stellar performances helping me shape this music. If it wasn't for their encouragement and many a Sunday spent playing @thejamfac , I'm doubtful this project would be where it is now.

A huge thank you to @brvndondowell for mixing & mastering the record 🙌 @kjm_studiosuk / @corin_myatt for recording and engineering 🙌 and Bristol legend @rainbow_slicer for his amazing remix 🙌 This will be included on the album as a bonus track, and works very well there if I do say so myself

Another huge thank you to @benjaminsalmonart
for his amazing paintings 🎨 and to good friend Oli Montez for the photography and digital capture 📸

Thanks as well to Naomi at @circuitsweet for her continued support ✨️

Finally, a big thank you to @helpmusicians. Their fast track award was a massive assistance in the production and artwork costs. They provide an invaluable service 🙏🏽

For the time being, I'll be releasing this exclusively on @bandcamp. You'll be able to stream the album and purchase a download or CD 💿

If you're up for checking out the record a couple days early, I'll be hosting a bandcamp listening party of Sun 15th 8pm 🎧

Major platforms eventually, but I won't be using Spotify for more than keeping the singles visible. There's a lot to say on that topic, but if you've read this far, I don't want to take any more of your time. Thanks for following me on this journey 🙂

JIAL & LOUIS ALBERRY - EXPLORATORY GUITAR, FOLK AND IMPROVISATION 🌳

This February brings together two distinctive voices in contemporary guitar-led music: JIAL and Louis Alberry.

JIAL is the instrumental project of guitarist and composer Josh Lamdin, whose performances blur the line between composition and improvisation — intimate, emotive pieces shaped by feel, space and nuance, unfolding differently each night.

Louis Alberry crafts exploratory songs that weave fingerpicked folk guitar with jazz harmony, wonky grooves and dusky, languid vocals.

Together, they offer a deeply atmospheric evening — rooted in tradition, open to improvisation, and rich in subtle detail.

📍12 Bar Music & Social, Exeter.
📅 20.02.26
🎟 Tickets on sale now via 12-bar.com

FFO: Nick Drake, JJ Cale, John Martyn.
