farewell to what we love,
and all of the above,
i'm standing on the shore (am I really like this?),
never felt like this before...

the light, provides, a sense, of time...

Lyrics and vocals by Karl McCann. Music by forthaven.

Bedroom musician / producer based in Manchester.......I moved from the East Mids to the North West, like Roy Keane in '93. After spending years playing in noisy punk bands and producing jungle, I somehow arrived here....

- Tom Robinson writing about 'Ask The Dust' on his Fresh On The Net blog :
"Short and extraordinary – I loved this on so many levels. The extraordinary lyrics (“Fearless in a world of wonder… Nights drunk on whiskey and grief”). The fierce artery-popping energy with which they’re declaimed – as if delivering the message was a matter of life and death. And the fact that this music isn’t remotely attempting to ingratiate itself with the cruel gatekeepers of the record industry. Here is a piece of art that sounds the way it does because that’s the way it’s supposed to sound – the world can take or leave it. Personally, I’ll take music as bold and uncompromising as this every time."
