Hello, I’m Mickey. I’m writing this in 1st person because I can't bring myself to write my own bio in 3rd person, which I admit to have done in years gone by while traipsing around in bands like Kilns and RAT!Hammock. I am a Naarm-based songwriter who likes country music and punk rock. My new album Hi Horse was recorded at home in an effort to keep myself busy while waiting to have back surgery. The title is a reference to a beautiful horse that I hallucinated in the recovery room while heavily sedated immediately after said surgery. I’ve only just now while writing this realised the link between that horse and being born in the Year of the Horse, and there being 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac as well as 12 songs on Hi Horse. I’m not entirely sure what to do with this realisation, as it’s genuinely happening in real time. I guess all I can say is that if you’re still reading this, that probably means there’s a better chance you might like my album Hi Horse, which is out in November.
