about

The first song nightjrrs produced for Frieraum. Now also available on vinylDabbin Houses takes its name from the ‘vernacular architecture’ of this part of Cumbria - or, more precisely, the rural working class houses of agricultural workers of north/western Cumbria. The way the piece changes demonstrates the way that people moved away from these buildings to urban housing developments in the twentieth century, and then the movement away from these urban estates back into the countryside, where every available rural building is being converted into housing. In Cumbria this is not exclusively a movement of the wealthy, because Carlisle’s/(most of)Cumbria’s house prices are unique: this means that there is a movement away from the city that mirrors generations of movement toward the city. The name ‘Dabbin Houses’ also references the name of the album ‘Dub Housing’ – by Pere Ubu – and some of the connotations of that title’s coinage.

Void Rates


no stairwell heaven ours ready for the demolition men at 37
better a chapter of slabs a third the population boy outsized pram
grass vice residuum allotment stamped earth metal over windows
confetti gutter newly one way better barred alley void rates
glass glued to the wall mesh walk a child better speed bump ritual
half a sign television set wheels of a trolley a goal, painted
painted, a goal wheels of a trolley television set half a sign
speed bump ritual better half a child mesh void rates
barred alley better one way gutter confetti windows
