Pocket Lint is the genre-defying musical vehicle for former Remodel guitarist Mark
Heffernan. Creating vignettes through the medium of music, Pocket Lint draws the listener
into a vivid world full of noir imagery and kaleidoscopic shifts in style. Using synths, pianos,
guitars and found sounds, referred to as ‘aural bonbons’, Pocket Lint paints in sound.
Having released the synth based Themes for Silcaville in 2021, the more guitar based A
Grey Opaque in 2022 and contributed covers to the previous God is in the TV covers
projects, in 2023 Pocket Lint released Gallery
Each song is based on an individual work of art, and taken as a whole they guide us through
an ever-shifting musical journey of a dream like gallery space with no one definable genre of
sound, except the unmistakable focal point that is Pocket Lint.

So, aged 13, a guy I knew, who was a bit older, lent me some albums, one of which was Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me by The Cure. I had already heard a few songs that people had put on compilations, but this album became the one that pulled me into the many facets of The Cure. The pop, the beauty, the dark, the lot. Why The Kiss? Well, I had several songs I considered - 17 Seconds, Fight, Three Imaginary Boys, and a few others - but I guess something drew me to my first lipstick-smeared Kiss.
