Dear Friends

It is with great exhaustion that i present to you this latest album that i have grafted on night and day for the last 3 months. It’s my magnum opus, my dark side of the moon. A staggering 2 hours of deep transcendental drone therapy drawn from the darkest parts of my soul.

This album was inspired by months of not being able to sleep. Engaging the shadow through the night as the hum of street lights buzzed through me. Self loathing, introspection and the journey towards individuation took hold of me.
During these sleepless nights i measured my own existence against a live streamed genocide and wondered how anyone could get any sleep at all.
Its difficult to feel part of anything. It's difficult to feel part of myself, never mind anything else.
During the day i worked on these long-form pieces, trying to measure the night with sound and how it stretches your thoughts across you and out of you and you look at them like dead skin hanging in an abattoir.
Each night i'd climb in to bed exhausted yet still unable to sleep. I'd envisage the dead skin from the previous night's excoriation, piling up on hangers in my open wardrobe.
There is no end to any of it.
I pictured the wasteland of the soul, a swamp coloured desert. the shadow lurking everywhere, waiting to pounce when you're at your weakest. The blood moon or wolf moon or button moon hanging in the darkness like the dead skin of yesterday.
I am still here - and no-one gets out alive!

I dedicate this album to Jimmy Morgan, who did manage to escape the night.

You can listen to and perhaps even BUY the album here and only here.

I sincerely hope you can find the time to switch off and enjoy this journey.

Love and Peace as always
