Blackwood Rediffusion

@rediffusion.bsky.social

Singer in 90’s covers band The Fishing Trip. Member of PlayGroupAber. Blackwood Rediffusion is the solo songwriting side-project. Jangly, acoustic, lo-fi homespun indie. Made in Wales, inspired by Brighton.

Pour in one measure of sun-kissed, acoustic, slacker West-coast rock. Add a liberal dash of 70’s funkiness and stir in a bit of disco. Take a Barry Gibb vibe and filter it through an alt-80’s indie sieve. Top up the glass with plenty of synth-juice.

Jenga Blocks was written back when a certain orange-tinged politician seemed on the brink of his final comeuppance as a result of the E. Jean Carroll civil court trial. Sadly, we all know what has happened since. The song narrative pits a powerful misogynist against brave accusers.

Jet Black Heart was originally released as a scratchy demo in 2023 - now it’s been done properly. A slice of post-punk, with a driving bass line and guitars that build a mountain of reverb. The stream-of-consciousness lyrics were inspired by a beer menu on the wall of a bar!

NEW SINGLE 23/01 This is my favourite Rediffusion song, it’s very good” says Mrs Rediffusion, on hearing The South Wales Trunk Road Agent (this is high praise indeed from Mrs R). “But now, we need to talk about redecorating the house….” (Recording plans for the next album are quietly readjusted.)

Backing vocals recorded. Mixing & mastering finished. Track sent to distributor & uploaded to BBC Introducing. Spotify bio refreshed. Ladies and gentleman, are you ready for the first Blackwood Rediffusion single of 2026? It’s time for a new, time travelling superhero - soon.
