about

This was recorded mostly during 2020 - in those strange time-distorted months in lockdown - less pollution and clearer skies, weird dreams, people finding nature and open spaces, looking out for each other, video calls largely sabotaged by cats - it seemed unreal, bizarre, terrifying yet hopeful.

Some tracks are inspired by landscape, some by infrastructure, architecture and the high-energy antics of Reg the studio cat.

And some started from short samples from old cassette demos I found in a box - just doing my bit for recycling.

I've gone more ambient towards the end of the album in search of something calmer.

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley
