about

Pop music filtered through sifts, distortion, and minimalism. A tight rope walk of melodies, soundscapes and droning bliss. A living embodiment of organic songwriting. Recorded using an old Marantz PMD221 and a Yamaha keyboard.

Tracks 1-3: A concept album based on the different lives of children, and the imaginations that carry them. From the darker, bleak moments, to the blissful and romantic.

Tracks 4-6: The sounds of the terrors that plague children. From monsters in the backyard, to trauma in the household. A look at the quiet, damaging moments.

Tracks 7-9: The tiny wonders created by children out of fear or hope. Representations of the courage, heart and bravery that children possess when they must. A lighter look at their lives.

Each song has a tiny story to go along with it. Read and listen. Children's simplicity is often their saving grace.
