I wrote this song around May/June this year, the first proper thing I had written in a little while. As you'll probably gather, it's pretty personal to me, hope you'll forgive that!
(And also the slightly self-indulgent ending..)

Prodigal

I wrote this one at the beginning of August this year. It's an attempt at something dancy and a bit more upbeat, and hopefully not overly serious either. We play this in the band I'm in too, La Lunette, so I hope they don't mind me putting my version on here..!

Never Looking Back

This is a choral piece I wrote leading up to Christmas, which https://soundcloud.com/lukemather was kind enough to conduct with his fantastic choir, https://soundcloud.com/icosa21 at St Mary-At-Hill church in London during their 4th January concert.
I thought the words of the original carol deserved some new music, and this is what I came up with.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman

This is something I wrote well before Christmas but has been through many guises since and I've finally got round to finishing off. 
Hope you enjoy.

Escapism

Another one I wrote before Christmas but have only just got round to finishing the recording of.

Week of Disappointments

Short, personal musings on male metal health and whether the patriarchy negatively affects this (short answer - yes). The title and some of the lyrics were influenced by reading Robert Webb's new book - I highly recommend it.
Musically, this one happened pretty quickly, once I decided to explore using drum machine sounds rather than fake drum kit tracks.

Man Up/Man Down

I think empathy is a good thing to have in the world

This song has sat on my computer about 2 years, I'm not going to be able to do any more with it, so here it is.
