about

This is our debut album. It’s been 20 years in the making. During lockdown I got tired of waiting for it to produce itself. I got my ass over to a friend’s all-analogue studio, and tried to remember some old riffs I had done way back. Then I said: "Roll the tapes." Roll he did.

I got some people to play stuff I can’t play like the trumpet, bassoon and pedal steel guitar. Other instruments I played myself, starting with the drums, then the bass, then the guitar.

Took us about a year to do that.

Now the pandemic is over, and the album is out. Imagine that.

Although I did it by myself, now we’re a proper power trio, playing live with three Marshall full stacks.

Oh the joy.

I really hope you like the album, and at least give it a listen.

Be well & fly free.

- JP
