about

Originally conceived as a project where I was to write a few quick songs, record some vocals & (scratch) acoustic guitar, and send them off to Tom Adamson to create all the music. They were "nonsense songs" essentially, half based on our own workplace "in-jokes".

This idea soon evaporated as I ended up having ideas of how I wanted these "dumb" songs to sound myself, and over the course of about 3 years of sending stuff off to some much more talented others and then waiting for their parts (songcraft is seriously the ONLY area where I have patience!), this silly little EP eventually mutated into the songs now laid before you.

I cannot express enough gratitude to those who lent ANY kind of assistance here - from initial inspiration to eventual wish fulfillment, and my crew of "sound board ears" who always go on this journey with me. THANK YOU!
