Jeff Burch was our guest on Canvas this morning.

(Jeff Burch and I in the FBI studio)

Born in New Zealand but living in Sydney, he’s released LPs (NY’s Magic Markers and his own band Songs‘ pop debut EP) and books by Max Doyle and others on indie publisher/label The Spring Press.

He works with fashion designer Therese Rawsthorne, he designs websites and record covers, writes interviews, makes films. Basically Jeff Burch is prolific.

Here’s a record Jeff originally released on the now defunct Brothers label:

Jeff Burch - As I remember, if I remember correctly, I arrived sweetly (51.8MB)

Jeff’s band Songs played at the Hopetoun last night - intriguing, that’s for sure - and they’ve got a few more shows this coming week in Sydney (more details here).
