Für Ewig blends energetic vocals, over the top of a crisp acoustic guitar, electric guitar licks and piano parts, and the song features an electric guitar solo and outro that crackles with a classic chorus effect. The track is for anyone and everyone trying to get a toehold in a world that is fast-paced and everchanging.

Für Ewig

Some Call This Normal

Few and Far Between is a reflective song for our times which utilises the vantage point of an independent musician and artist who is trying plot his way through life and manage the personal impacts of prevalent social issues by putting his insights and experiences to use.  The song is for anyone looking for encouragement and trying to keep going in spite of long-standing social issues which are, seemingly, inching beyond redemption.

Contemplating The Sunflowers

A blend of raw energetic vocals, grungy acoustic guitar, electric guitar licks, synth padding and a smoky guitar outro. Taking inspiration from Phoebe Bridgers, Neil Young and Sharon Van Etten, this song is for anyone trying to cope with the Covid-19 crisis, the structures of feeling it has thrown up and is looking to the future with trepidation.
