As promised I have done an album this year, and I did spend longer than a month making it – I also forgot to mention it here!
Anyway, here it is. It’s a very personal album, I’ve been suffering from quite severe (for me) depression this year and the music on the album takes the events and coping strategies I used (and am using) to get me out of that. The process is not yet finished, but the album is. I hope the next one will be a little lighter!
As such, the album is pretty intense in places. But the beauty of doing instrumental music is that it can be intense and also vague – I’m not giving away too much detail of my life that might be the case had I put lyrics to these tracks (this will never happen by the way – I don’t “do” lyrics or singing). The titles contain some description but should not be take as literally as they might seem. The actually make more sense (if they ever make any sense) after listening to the music, and not on their own. On their own they are probably just misleading 😉
Musically the album is another step up from “It’s not a Game” and is in a style I’m still developing. I’m not where I want to be yet but it’s definitely getting nearer.
Unusually I got a review for this album, and a good one it is too, so I’ll give you the link to that first, then you can decide that you like it before having heard it.
