✨👻 so psyched that ‘The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball’ (Gumball Season 7) is dropping on the 28th of July with the music made by yours truly 💫
It was a huge honour to be composer for this series and continue the amazing legacy Ben Locket created for Gumball. Thank you Ben🐱🐟 Anyone who knows the show knows that the music is CRAZAY 🤯 Going anywhere from humongous and cinematic orchestrated action scenes to speed metal / free jazz at the drop of a hat and back to sweet and intimate piano ballads before the scene is over 🐸⚔️ so every day was pretty full on!!
✨👻I’ve been writing songs on the other series of Gumball for since 2014/15?? This series was no different, we started the songs in spring 2023 and then went into full score mode for the episodes in 2024. 💫 recording was done at my studio by the sea in Margate and then finished in Orkney!
✨👽✨in the middle we made a little trip to @annecyfestival to announce the show
So here’s some random pics n stuff from the funtimes ✨🛸✨
LARGE ND 💖felt thanks to all the amazing team for entrusting me and working together on this!! It was a huge honour and I can’t wait for everyone to see it!! It’s friggin’ amazing and irreverently funny as per 💘🐮💘

✨🛸 🐸❤️‍🔥well I had a chat with @thelineofbestfit about my new album ‘Fossil Forest’ 🛸✨🐸❤️‍🔥

🛸🐮full feature at the link in bio 🔗✨

‘stitched together with bass recorders, toy synths, and lo-fi tape hiss. The result is a sonic terrarium: equal parts folklore, philosophy, and fuzz.’

‘Xav Clarke isn’t trying to convince you of anything. He’s just out here making things that might fall apart—dreamscapes that bend slightly in the sun, songs that start as brain spirals and end up as eulogies or cartoons or neither.‘

✨🛸🐸❤️‍🔥Thank you to the brilliant Max Gaylor for the interview ✨🛸🐸❤️‍🔥

✨🩵🦋🛸🧚🏻F*** YEA - on friday i’m releasing ‘bluebells’
🪻🩵🪻🩵🪻🩵🪻🩵🪻🩵🪻🩵🪻…..
it’s the third and final single from my forthcoming album ‘Fossil Forest’
✨🛸
My dad Pete was this absolutely crazy guy, he was like a burning candlestick of inspiration - ideas and enthusiasm were just pouring out of him all of the time and he was born to encourage, to joke around and to ignore any of the bullshit in life that he thought sucked. He was what Ursula K Le Guin would have called ‘a realist of a larger reality’ ✨🧚🏻🛸 anyway, when this massive life force just disappeared one day, it struck me as so incomprehensible that someone like that has just gone nowhere?? It felt like his spirit power had transformed instead 🪻🪻🪻🪻
So when it came to writing a song, I knew there was gonna be no bullshit, no lamenting, it was just gonna be him, transformed into something else.
✨Something living, breathing and smiling. I wanted him in the music and the woods and the mud and the ever ringing grooves of change that were all lucky enough to be spinning down!!
So this one’s for you Dad - and it’s for any of us who need this song when we are carrying the torch in the meantime, let’s f****** do this!! Bluebells baby!!

Out now on all platforms at the link in bio!!
I made this video while living on the Orkney Islands…
✨🛸🍄🩵

I hope you all enjoy this one!! ✨🛸🍄🩵

Orkney was a tru mystical experience for me, some days we’d be visited by Orca or Humpback Whales in the bay outside my studio bothy!! ✨🛸(They made it a cameo in the video 🐳spot them??) Walking in the footsteps of our neolithic ancestors helped me to contextualise the themes that were appearing in my songs of extinction and fossils. ✨🛸🍄so it felt like the perfect imagery to accompany this song ✨🍄🛸
I was struck with a bout of Bells Palsy for the second two months and one half of my face became paralysed. To distract myself from no longer being able to sing, I started to make a music video with a 15 pound digital camera I had and I got really into it✨🍄🛸 I wanted to film the cliffs, the waves, the animals, the snow, the mountains - what a thrill to be a tiny part of Orkney’s story!! 🐳✨The amazing community of people in Stromness were so supportive as I was recovering and I’ll be forever grateful for their positivity ✨🍄🛸

Produced by the wonderful wizard of wonk who worked dream dust and magic on all these songs @miketunng ✨✨🔫
Drums by @waldosgift s finest throbbing heartbeat of madcap wunderjamz @jamesovine who kicked this song into life ✨✨🔫
Artwork by my fav artist @yool_n ✨✨🔫

✨🛸🌻✨ some b roll of how I made ‘Skyscraper’ with @miketunng and @genocarrapetta at Mike’s studio den of wizardry 🧙‍♂️!!
✨🛸🌻✨ this was so much fun to make together, I was playing him the song for the first time, he already had drum computers blooping and bleeping and by the end of the song, he had a wonky half swung beat sitting underneath my fingerpicking.
✨🛸🌻✨ the lyrics of Skyscraper have this balance between flora and machinery and I played lots of organic instruments, whilst he was adding in creeping electronic bursts of electricity from all his cosmic gubbins lying around. Particularly the @somasynths Lyra 8 and @eventideaudio Harmonizer 🛸🛸🛸🛸✨✨✨We tried to conjure the sound of skyscrapers growing out of the ground - whilst keeping all the performances one take, to hear the frail human amidst the machinery.
☕️ ☕️
It was so fun, Mike would just crank it up so loud and we’d just bounce around listening back and drinking infinite black filter coffees and saying to each other, ‘what the f*** IS this we’re making??’ … ‘I dunno’ Mike said, ‘it’s like…Cosmic Xav Wonk.’ I haven’t thought of a better genre description yet. 👻
✨🛸🌻✨ @genocarrapetta came to deliver the beautiful heartbeat of the song, thank you Geno!!

🌝🌚I thought I wasn’t going to mention this on social media but now that I’m back on the mainland I thought it was easiest to just get it off my chest. Two days before Xmas I got hit by a bout of ‘Bells Palsy’ have ya heard of it? I never had!! Well lemme tell ya, it sux!! The nerve in half your face just decides to die and one half is paralysed. It takes about three months to get better usually🌛🌜these photos are from about a month ago and it’s been improving thank goodness, but my eye still doesn’t properly close (my eye ball rolls around everywhere it’s funny and a bit disturbing 🤪) and I’m still talking mostly out of one side of my mouth, but hopefully in about a months time it should be a lot better. 💫
It’s really really weird not being able to smile. It’s an obvious point but I love smiling and laughing and it makes me look alot sadder than I really feel inside.
So why apart from getting a sense of relief am I posting about it? Well, I don’t think I’m a particularly stressed person or anything but it did happen after a very charged week where I did about a zillion things right before Xmas and felt a billion emotions. I guess what I’m saying is, sometimes it’s cool to just put ur health and peace of mind first if ur feeling on the edge. It’s cool man ❤️ I’m so grateful to my amazing partner Alice who has just been the best person ever reassuring me that my life isn’t over (as I kept doom thinking 😝) and now I’m just pressing on, whatever happens I’m still me and nothings gonna stop me from making music - I’ve got a new single out tomorrow, playing gigs - two tours lined up in the next couple of months, swimming and roaming, having fun with my friends and smiling (even if it doesn’t look like I am from the outside! Haha)
If anyone knows anyone else struggling with it, I’m up for chatting about it - I love hearing from others with it and it’s super reassuring 👻
Life throws everyone lemons 🍋 sometimes and I guess in the bits when it doesn’t you take the simple things for granted, I can’t wait to just smile properly again and in the meantime, please imagine I’m doing it! 👻🤪✨ xxx
