Five albums and one EP in, and Cass McCombs still cuts an enigmatic figure. Here's what we do know: the Californian singer-songwriter wrote some of his best songs while surfing couches and living in cars between the west and east coast of America. Even those at the label who picked McCombs up for 2007's Dropping the Writ don't seem to have got close to the man.

"I won't pretend that I'll ever fully understand Cass," writes Domino Records' Kris Gillespie, giving the kind of candid account of an artist you never read in press releases. No matter, for McCombs is an incredibly honest and perpetually driven songwriter. Wit's End floats on a sea of lugubrious guitars and laconically delivered lines that get underneath your skin, such as opener County Line, when McCombs suddenly sings: "You never really tried to love me. " Buried Alive twists the most suffocating of imagery – "When I wake up to the breath of the old, on a sea of black" – against a subdued melody and tenderly strummed guitar.

Dear friends, …it may have been a little quiet round these parts, but that’s mostly because noses have been on grindstones! There’s a whole bunch of stuff coming up for me and M+D - gigs, releases, remixes…. so, eyes down for a full house and here we go: My old mucker David Edwards has a great new album out. Also he’ll be coming up on the overdue return of WYFW? I’ll be returning to the wonderful city of Belfast on the 29th of September, to play a Bass Clef set.

It’s the launch party for this 10″ on Rudimentary Records, for which I also did a remix. Due in the next couple of weeks, I’ll be releasing a two track 12″ on great Bristol label Idle Hands, it features “Dawn Chorus Pedal”, and “You Don’t Know Don’t Know You” Once more mastered at Optimum, they’ve done a fabulous job as always of getting my crazy tape recordings onto vinyl. Indeed, come and watch me as nervous as I’ll ever be, honoured to play before one of my absolute heroes, at the Elgar Rooms in the Albert Hall on October the 10th.
