about

A collection of stripped-down songs

Songs come and go but the ones that hover in my mind long enough to record have a place in my heart and I feel have a place for others too. Inspired by the rawness of Nick Drakes' "Pink Moon" and John Lennon's "Plastic Ono Band" I set to record songs without complicating them and keeping them stripped down. Lyrically I was inspired by the literature I was reading on Buddhist/Stoic philosophies and Haruki Murakami's fiction. I tried to subtly add these influences on my work which are really grounded in feelings.

I recommend this album over a cup of tea or for a walk.

All recorded at Dukebox Studios.
