Since 2009, Taylor has also been a member of the Cardiff, Wales-based indie band Los Campesinos!
Primarily influenced by 90's lo-fi bands like Pavement, Smog and The Microphones, he has moved around a great deal stylistically and often performs material live that vastly differs from his recorded output.
Galvanised by a 2007 tour with his idol, Daniel Johnston, Sparky has attempted to unite music and drawing wherever possible, often performing songs with accompanying drawings on an overhead projector. He also runs a cartoon and comics blog called Tearjerky.co.uk, which is updated almost daily.
There are reportedly a number of new releases in the pipeline, including an EP, a full-length album, book and an animated version of his rock opera, "Misty and Mouffette", a story about love, loss and organ transplants which he has previously performed live.

In 2009, Taylor opened for Los Campesinos! on several tours and also performed as the band's auxiliary guitarist, percussionist and keyboardist and was a semi-official member of the band from that tour until July 2010, when he became an official member of the band.

Lyrics from Genius:
Leave your body
The science of crying
The science of dying
The science of riot
Yeah
Escape your clothes in
Inferior discos
Interior discos
Bacteria discos
No
Fear will arm me
A terrible army
A terrible army
A terrible army
Yeah
Make your own luck
Export it to Oslo
Send it to Oslo
We'll sell it to Oslo
Yeah
Solid gold pennies
Twilight tokens
Who said you were broken
Said you were broken
Solid gold pennies
To twilight tokens
Who said you were broken
Said you were broken
And I'm not in the mood to lose another one
Pleading handshakes
With Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln
Vows to father
We’ll ride at the harbour
The worst of all dramas
The worst of all managers
You’ve reached the help desk
But keep it together
Or keep it forever
Through worst of all weather
Crowded lakeside
Covered in pollen
Stereo horror
Hysterical Dutch touch clutch
Noble hat tricks
Of family values
Keep on the oceans
You’ll never know when
You're gonna lose your head
And bleed like an osprey
Just say that you’ll stay
Or go back to Norway
Life is just a quest to get rid of spare change
And change your
Change your mind
I'm not in the mood to lose another one
Just a side note: I have no idea what this song means but maybe it's about desperately wanting to try and give meaning to your life but being afraid or confused or even feeling not confident that you can do so? What do you guys think? I really like this song and I want to know what it means!

Every suntan tells stories and the shape of the white snitches
fat men in tropical climes
now you tell me you’ve been fucking king chrisoph
and that I should’ve known for a while
watching the stalions as autumn draws in as they make ghosts across london fields
and i would’ve moved out there to be with you
i would’ve moved out there for real
saw a choir of golden angels wearing matching rucksacks as they obstruct the view to your train
and i’m sorry if it seems like i’m rambling on here...
just want to see the way skin splits round his bones
and the gurgling head in your lap
feel the arms of the crowd as they pull me away
and the mud the blood in the grass
when we scraped our bones together we got fire x4/5?
