With this track I challenged myself to write an almost entirely a capella track, recorded and for the most part mixed in one five hour studio session.

This wasn't exactly an easy task, and in the recording process I found the main problems I faced were A) Trying to come up with a vocal melody that made it clear where the harmony would go on its own and B) Trying to keep the song interesting throughout, something that proved even harder without the aid of a band set-up.

I've always been kind of obsessed with the idea of the human voice as an instrument and I really wanted to implement that here. Since recording it I've started gigging with this song and I get a different reaction every time I play it, but hopefully you'll enjoy it.

Cynical Man

With this song I wanted to push the boat out more in terms of how I arrange and structure songs because the rest of my tracks seem to be in my comfort zone. It also saw me arranging and recording strings for the first time which was great, massive thanks to Rich Tervet and Lachlan Campbell for lending their respective violin and cello talents they both really made the track.

'The Long Man EP' Preview

This is the track Already Gone taken from my new EP 'The Long Man'. I wanted to record an acoustic EP of some of my newer material for a while now but what started out as just acoustic tracks ended up fleshing out, incorporating bass and percussion amongst other things.

Big thanks to everybody that helped out with the EP, I'm really happy with how it turned out and the feedback that I've received has been great, I only hope that you like it too.
