    "The themes on this album are love, loss and hope for a better future as the album acts as a musical snapshot of my life over the past few years. I produced this record with the help of some great friends in my old apartment on the junction of Holloway and Camden Road; it was mainly written and recorded at night. Joe Meek's Telstar Studios was constantly within view and I tried to channel that experimental spirit into the creation of this record.

    Numerous alt rock agent provocateurs from past and present influenced me, names like Bowie, Faith no More and Talk Talk combine with a love for synth pioneers like John Carpenter, Brian Eno and the western shades of Morricone. This is all wrapped up with contemporary artists like Bleachers, John Grant and underground artists like Cobra Man, TVAM and Big Black Delta who provided an influence alongside many others."

about

"Heavy Manners is pretty literal; it's for all the words you never quite get to say...The title comes from an old Glaswegian saying following my move north of the border in 2023"

lyrics

You hard nosed, homegrown, homophobe
Just back off
Eye contact made
Yeah I’m costing you off
Just piss off
You see I’m begging you please
To get up off your knees
Just back off
Acting like you know
My teeth they itch and toes
They curl up
(Just fuck off)

You think you look so bloody smooth
Boy that mirror sure lies to you
You cannot be in your right mind
Go find another axe to grind
You think you look so bloody smooth
Boy that there mirror lies to you

Waste my time,
Keep me running around the block
While you’re fucking around
Working
You say that you’re working when I know that you’re not
You’re a cheap, low rent con artist
(Cheap excuses mate)
And I’ve had enough
So when you’re rolling around town like Sylvester Stallone in your Ford Focus
Tearing up that naan like a horny teenager on the passenger seat
Nah, you can piss off mate
I don’t need it
I don’t need ya
