The Music

The album was recorded in Nov 2011, and was produced by Gawain Mathews. It features Kyle Caprista on drums, myself on vocals and guitars, and Gawain on everything else (including bass, keyboards, percussion, and accordion).

All 11 songs are my originals. They range from hard rock (Roar, The Big Lawn, A Little Too Much) to acoustic (I Waited For You, Their Silent Worlds, One Petty Dictator) to classic pop rock (The Life Inside Me, Forget About You, The Impossible).

The influences are obvious: The Beatles (everything, but particularly Forget About You), Los Lobos (The Impossible), Nirvana and PJ Harvey (Roar), Elvis Costello (The Life Inside Me), Nick Drake (Their Silent Worlds), and punk (A Little Too Much).
