He has recorded albums with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Grinderman, Sonic Youth, The Cramps, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, Tav Falco's Panther Burns, 8 Eyed Spy and Congo Norvell as well as recording sessions with many artists including Marianne Faithfull, Iggy Pop, Beth Orton, Religious to Damn and Seasick Steve.

The composition is set to premiere at the 2013 Sonica Festival in Glasgow.
