Inspired by a particularly memorable post-gig night out in 2011, Graham's eighth solo album 'A+E' jerked to the nu-rave shapes and post-punk angles of the wave of bands who'd later fall under the indie sleaze umbrella.

On tracks like the throbbing 'City Hall' and 'Meet And Drink And Pollinate''s robo-punk, Graham and producer Ben Hillier drew a line from the present back to late '70s/early '80s outliers Magazine, Wire and Cabaret Voltaire.

"My band had played a gig at the sadly no more Leeds Cockpit, and there was this club night afterwards," remembers Graham. "Everything they were playing sounded amazing. It was all new stuff, and the kids looked so cool. It made a really big impression on me, and 'A+E' was sort of based on what I thought I was hearing that night. It didn't give a fuck - it was just riffs in your face and was very mischievous."
