about

Originally I planned to release these songs as 'The Brutal Years', as the sonic and vibe of the songs are so different to most of what I've done before. But I was also sort of hiding from being me at my most honest.

So here are five songs that were written in the last 18 months that express a little of my processing a period of depression and spiritual deconstruction. These are mainly prayers awash with the visceral sound I have always loved in bands like Sonic Youth and guitarists like Graham Coxon (hence the song for him).

Life can be hard - but these years that can seem so brutal are not the end of the story.
