Hello spring, and hello 𝑨𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒏, 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝑺𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 - released today by @fikarecordings.com on LP/CD/DL. Album four from us, six years in the making, possibly the best thing we've done - we really hope you enjoy it!

We’ve started a mailing list. So 2026! Subscribers get a free album called “Sunken Versions”. A collection of some of our most spaced out, droney, synthy stuff from recent(ish) years.

www.firestationsband.uk is the link.

We won’t send many emails, just a few bits about new releases etc

Here’s Polly! Aka the perfect antidote to winter blues. She’s a good girl.

A little thread about the producers on our new remix album that's out today.

Sad that we can’t do Mirrored Daughters after all, but excited to be unexpectedly playing the Many White Horses songs again, with accompanying projections too. Come along for a happysad immersive time.

Thanks Andrew. We had fun making this. Feels like another lifetime now.

Already platinum in my mind (not the events, the record)

Firestations on stage at the Hen & Chicken, Bristol, 10 May 2025.

A dreamily stripped-down yet textured @firestations.bsky.social line-up headed a top-drawer triple-bill in Bristol last night, with strong support coming from Melinda Bronstein’s hypnotic loop manipulations and Andy Skellam’s troubadour intimacy.

Many White Horses, by firestations from the album Many White Horses

Woke up with this in my head this morning: firestations.bandcamp.com/track/many-w... - appropriate that we're off to see them tonight at the Harrison in London.

Many White Horses, by firestations 9 track album

Release day for this lovely album from @firestations.bsky.social. Super evocative sketches of life at sea, drifting around the Hebrides. Very, very limited vinyl so get in there while you still can.

This refers to the new @firestations.bsky.social album.

Apparently I have not yet learned to work this platform. 🤦‍♂️
