Written and recorded in 7 weeks in 2011, then released by Mollusc Records in 2013


A Blog Post from 2013

"7 weeks, 14 tracks, 1 beard and no sleep = 1 solo record.

For various reasons, I found myself after what had been a pretty poo year by anyone's standard, being generously given the keys to a studio for 7 weeks and a request from Mollusc Records to make a solo record of whatever I wanted!!
So it was on October 17th, 2011, I entered the studio with a bunch of songs and the aim to make an album in the 7 weeks. What actually happened was that I ended up writing the entire album almost from scratch, with a totally different sound to what I expected it to be. Luckily Rory Mansfield of Mollusc Records was totally behind it and even came down to collaborate on the track which became 'No Sleep'.

The result is ‘No Middle Name’ a record and a solo project that only weeks earlier i never knew was going to happen
Massive thanks must be given given to Nick Crofts, the other half of The Title Sequence for his generosity in helping make this happen."

David Bailey


Press Release by Mollusc Records from 2013

"No Middle Name is the solo project of David Bailey from The Title Sequence. He follows up the debut single ‘Another Season’ with the self titled 12 track album released on Limited Edition Vinyl and download.
After a chance meeting with Mollusc Record’s Rory Mansfield at a party in London, David was kindly lent the keys to Glove Box studios (London) and a request to record whatever he liked... 7 weeks later, David emerged, not with the acoustic introspective album that was expected, but his own unique slice of dream pop and lo-fi indie.

The debut single Another Season has gained over 10,000 plays on soundcloud after being a hit with blogs such as Indie Shuffle, Little Indie Blogs and The Sound Of Confusion. The song was also accompanied by a self made animated video, completing the whole DIY package.

For the album and single artwork, Bailey collaborated with Berlin Based photographer Matthias Heiderich which really comes to life on the vinyl. One of Bailey’s biggest achievement so far with NMN was being asked to play for his teenage hero David Gedge of The Wedding Present, at Gedge’s annual festival in Brighton called ‘At the Edge of the Sea’ in August. An event David already had tickets for to go as a fan, so was amazed and delighted when he got asked to play just two weeks before, due to a cancellation to a packed audience.

No Middle Name Is available on Limited Edition Heavyweight Vinyl including Download Code from bandcamp and independent stores.
