"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."

"I'm knocking down walls with my ego...In the Name is a reflective track written for myself at the end of the most tumultuous period of my life, a fitting end to those Holloway nights..."

lyrics

I papered over cracks when I met her…

Sure I said I was maybe something else
Or somebody slightly better adjusted than I actually am
(I papered over cracks)
But I was trying to show you that I cared
That I was patient and willing to wait around for you
That this was the best man I knew I could be
And the man you made me want to be
And yeah, sure it came back and bit me harder than I ever deserved in the first place
But I don’t care
I was just trying to
Paint the crack
Cover my tracks
Get it back

I papered over cracks when I met her
I papered over cracks just to gain her trust
To prove to her that I was better
A pathetic excuse in the name of lust

I papered over cracks when I met her
My self esteem couldn’t get enough
I’m knocking down walls with my ego
A double entendre in the name of love
In the name of love

You tell me
You love me so much but you hurt
Anyway
I papered over, papered over cracks
And now I want my future back
Who am I meant to be?
Who will you let me see?

Maybe this time I’m not going to come running back…I’m holding on…
