David has released 8 albums and some EPs as the London-based Comet Gain since 1994, putting out literate, energetic, sloppy rock, typically splitting the lead vocals with a female voice. As a pandemic project, he just released his first album under his own name.

We discuss "Mum’s and Dad’s Other Ghosts" from Those We Met Along the Way (2021), "An Arcade From The Warm Rain That Falls" from Howl of the Lonely Crowd (2011), and "The Kids at the Club" from Realistes (2002). End song: "Mid 8Ts" from Fireraisers Forever! (2019). Intro: "Strength" from Magnetic Poetry (1997). More at gain.bandcamp.com/">comet-gain.bandcamp.com.
