Conversations About Ghosts - Release Date: 07.03.25
Shortly after our third album ‘Ghosts’ was released, we got together to record a conversation about how the album was made and what inspired the songs. To break up the sound of three men from the Black Country talking, we've also included some of the original demos, recordings from the studio and clips from podcasts, radio & interviews.
'Conversations About Ghosts' will be released via Bandcamp on 07th March 2025. The 2 disc podcast album will be available digitally and a limited number of physical copies will also be on sale. If you enjoyed the Ghosts album, then this is a must have for fans of the band.
We are back in the studio in a few weeks to start work on some new music and are still putting together our 'making the videos' podcast series for YouTube which we hope to release around Spring time along with a brand new music video. Stay classy. DINKY X
DINKY - 'CONVERSATIONS ABOUT GHOSTS' - ALBUM ARTWORK
NOVEMBER 2024
Earlier this year, we teamed up with Kirsop Media for our fourth music video collaboration. We shot the video for our new single, “I Don’t Believe in Anything’ in North Wales and we’ll be telling the full story on how it came to be on a video podcast series that will be coming out soon. Each episode of the podcast will focus on a different video from the ‘Ghosts’ album and will include a load of behind-the-scenes footage. The editing fairies are currently working their magic on the series.
You can watch the official music video for our new single below and we’ll be back in the new year to tell you more about some other music releases we have planned for 2025. What a time to be alive!!! DINKY x
AUGUST 2024
It’s been just under a month since our new album ‘GHOSTS’ came out and you guys have really shown a lot of love for this record. Thank you to everyone who has listened, brought a copy and been in touch to let us know about their favourite songs. We still have a few physical copies left over at our Bandcamp store but there aren’t many left at the time of writing this so go grab yourself a copy.
So, we thought we would keep this promo train rolling with the announcement of our brand-new single ‘Almost like Ghosts’. We filmed the music video back in January and spent the entire shoot being submerged in water. Dressing gowns and crocs were essential items between filming!! Check out the music video below.
As lots of people have been asking about our music videos recently, we are working on a video podcast series for YouTube which will look at how we made all the music videos from our latest album and will feature loads of behind-the-scenes footage and outtakes. DINKY x

It feels good to finally say this – our new album ‘GHOSTS’ is officially out now!!!
The album is available on all major digital platforms, and we have made a limited number of physical copies for the folks who can still remember CDs. The CD can only be purchased via our Bandcamp store.
Massive thank you to our Producer Owen Davies at Loud Noises Production for all his work on this and for putting up with our shenanigans in the studio.
We loved making this album and we'd be thrilled if you could give it a listen.

Later this month (26th) we are joining Jason Kelly on his show on Black Country Radio to talk about the new album and play a few exclusive tracks. 😉
Lastly, thanks to everyone who has seen us live this year, we have decided not to have a launch gig for the album but will be playing some secret shows throughout the year instead to test out some new material. We will announce the dates and city/town of the shows and how to get tickets via our social media channels.

*** NEW SINGLE OUT NOW ***
Our brand new single 'Oh Yeah' is out now on all major digital platforms.
'Oh Yeah' is the second single from our new album 'Ghosts'. Check out the music video for this crazy little song below. We are preparing the album for a summer release and it sounds, what the kids today would refer to as, fire 🔥🔥🔥. We have spoken to a number of people we know with kids and have it on good authority that 'fire' actually means 'very good', so that's great news for us. DINKY x

Happy New Year my fine friends!
We had a bit of downtime over the festive period so we decided it would be a good time to start getting our new music video ready.
We filmed the video for ‘Oh Yeah’, the next single from our forthcoming album ‘Ghosts’, back in September but had to leave it for a while to focus on promotional duties for ‘It’s Not About You’.
Speaking of our current single, we have just uploaded an acoustic version that we recorded for Barstool Music UK on our YouTube page. You can check it out here. We also wanted to say a big thank you to all the radio stations and podcasts around the world that have played the single and to all the magazines that reviewed it ♥
A release date for ‘Oh Yeah’ will be announced soon but we are currently in pre-production for another music video which we are filming at the end of this month, so keep your eye on our socials for news.
Until we meet again. DINKY x

'It's Not About You' is the first single from our upcoming third album 'Ghosts' which is due for release early next year. It's great to be back with new music and we're looking forward to sharing the album and all the other shenanigans we've been working on.

SEPTEMBER 2023
Thought we'd write an update post as we’ve been getting a lot of messages on our socials lately asking for info on the new album.
So, we have decided to push the release date back to early 2024. We are just finalising the mixes in the studio and then the aim is to start putting out some singles before the album. The first single, 'It’s Not About You’ will be released on 21st October and will be available on all major streaming platforms. The music video was a lot of fun to shoot and we can't wait to share it :)
We are currently in pre-production for another music video which we'll be shooting this month and have been chatting about a lot more concepts for future videos, so there is plenty of stuff coming your way soon. Speaking of which . . .
We’ve also been sorting out the track listing for a compilation album of unreleased recordings and getting all the permissions etc. We are back in the studio soon to record a few extra bits and re-master some tracks so we might drop this album next year too.
In other news, our music video for 'Oxygen' has been nominated for Best Music Video and will be shown as part of the Worcester Film Festival this year. The video will be shown at the Odeon Cinema, Foregate St, Worcester on Thursday 05th October at 13.00pm before a series of short films. Tickets are available here.
Gig news: we've been invited to play at the Kidderminster Music Festival on Saturday 23rd September and Gav and Adam will be recording a live set for the Narrowboat Sessions later this month. We'll share the session soon.
That's all for now munchkins!

'It's Not About You' - Single Artwork
JUNE 2023
A few weeks ago, we teamed up with Kirsop Media to shoot a new music video for our next single ‘It’s Not About You’. A release date for the single and the accompanying video will be announced over the summer as we are still mixing the album. Keep an eye on our socials for more updates and some photos from the shoot. Plans for a few more videos are also underway.
We are also compiling a compilation album of demos, live recordings and unreleased tracks. It’s been a lot of fun trawling through the archives and we’ll be putting the artwork together later in the year. We are also planning to go back to the studio to record a few pieces for the album but the final track listing is still being decided.
Once we have the next two albums finished, we are going to start work on some more new music in the studio but our lips are sealed about this for now!!

MARCH 2023
Last week we finished all the tracking in the studio for the new album and now our producer is currently working on the mixes. While we wait for him to work his magic, we have started to think about music videos and what the first single will be. We have also created a page on the website for the album and will update it with some more information and footage from the studio. Click here and the internet fairies will escort you to the page for free.
In other news, the wonderful Eclipse Records in Walsall have a few copies of our last album ‘Open Letters’ in stock and we will be announcing some more live shows soon. A few dates have been added to the Live page (ask the fairies to take you there after you’ve read about our new album).
Stay classy. DINKY x

Just a quick check in to say that we are back in the studio over the next few months to finish recording a few final tracks for the new album. We haven’t decided on a release date yet as we might put out a few singles first, so keep an eye on our socials for updates and check out the teaser trailer below. Until we meet again... DINKY x
