Boss was recorded in 2022 as mostly a solo effort. I'm a dad now, and these are almost all songs about that. Except for Yuki, which is about a neighbour cat that our cat simply hated.

Strap was recorded in 2019, as a band, with Sarah Cordingley on drums and Bianca Sopel playing bass. Strap started playing as a group around 2017, and ended sometime during covid. I'll say it's much more fun to play and write music with friends, and I think this shows in the music.

Palm Springs was recorded in 2016, with Sarah Cordingley on drums and Shyla Seller on keys. Opposed to Silent Days, with worries about staying the same - these are very much songs of a death and a new life.

Silent Days was written and recorded in 2014. At the time I had been feeling concerned about growing stagnant in my life, and from that came the inspiration for this record. Each of these songs is about stasis in work, love and self.
