Darren Hayman of Hefner fame live at The Traf (Isle of Man) 11-01-09. Cheers for a great night Darren, Ways of Stephen, Big Ste, Chris (his Birthday bash) and not forgetting Kell, who pulled the whole thing together. My memory on my video ran out just before the song had finished... Shame.. + Informações

Darren Hayman used to be in a band I liked called Hefner. Then he was in a band I liked called The French. Then he did some other things that I liked. He wrote, recorded and released a song a day during January 2011. This was the 31st, and this is the video I made for it. You can see and hear the rest of the songs from the project here: januarysongs.tumblr.com I started work on the animation about a week before the song was written. All I knew at the time was that it would be 90bpm. I heard the finished song for the first time at 1pm on the 31st. The video was cut, edited and lip synched a little before midnight. The train coaches were made by Yvonne Doyle (bit.ly who also lent me the train.. + Informações

The second single from Darren Hayman's album - Essex Arms features Emmy the Great on guest vocals. Each frame is hand drawn on one sheet of card.

The video cost nothing more the pencils and the piece of card and one very weary looking scanner.. + Informações

'Nothing You Can Do About It' is the first single from the album 'Essex Arms' and is available digitally from the 16th August on FortunaPOP! records. The video itself is something of a YouTube / Twitter experiment with fans contributing largely to the compilation video. If you were involved make yourself known. Essex Arms is the fifth solo album from ex-Hefner singer Darren Hayman. It is the second in a proposed trilogy of albums about his home county of Essex. Pram Town (2009) dealt with the displacement and ennui of living in a new town (Harlow) and received the best reviews of Hayman's solo career. Essex Arms takes the narrative to the countryside, a conceptual piece about the East Anglian underbelly. "The songs are about love in unloved places," says Darren, "I wanted to sing about a lawless, hidden version of the countryside, but still treat the subject with tenderness and respect.". + Informações

Video for 'Pram Town', the title song from the fourth solo album by Darren Hayman from Hefner. The video is completely constructed from mobile phone photos. It acts as a companian piece to the Wave Pictures video I made. In that video I constructed still images from moving pictures, here I do the opposite.. + Informações

The first song to be released from Darren Hayman's (Hefner) fifth solo album 'Essex Arms'. The album is the second in a proposed trilogy of albums about Hayman's home county of Essex, a conceptual piece about the East Anglian rural underbelly. Whereas Pram Town (2009) dealt with the displacement and ennui of living in a new town (Harlow) -- and received the best reviews of Hayman's post-Hefner career -- Essex Arms takes the narrative to the countryside. "The songs are about love in unloved places," says Darren. "I wanted to sing about a lawless, hidden version of the countryside, but still treat the subject with tenderness and respect.". + Informações
