Walk In The Forest

Breaking Out is the final chapter of Breaking Down or Breaking Out, the long-running DREWBY saga that began in 2020. Across 16 tracks, the album traces a full emotional arc: personal growth, the rise and collapse of relationships—friends, family, lovers—and a clear-eyed reflection on life unfolding against the backdrop of turbulent times.

These songs hold a magnifying glass to love and lust, introspection and acceptance, while occasionally widening the lens outward. Tracks like “Human Soul Pollution” serve as a rallying cry—less preachy manifesto, more uneasy mirror held up to humanity.

The album opens at the end with “Just Let Go,” then slowly works its way toward release, resolution, and renewal, closing on the gentle reset of “Start Again.” Wrapped in glossy synthwave-pop textures, Breaking Out balances candy-coated production with emotionally honest songwriting—melancholy and momentum existing side by side, right where growth usually lives.

Finally, after some years giving the guitar a go and trying to make a living as janitors, HMS are back. With a slightly melancholic and reflective track about everything that counts in a more or less unhinged world.

a sneak peek at a song off my 3rd album, in the process: 
Smoke & Mirrors
all production: Mizero (2021)
*video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBKgx6UA4Fk
lyrics:
stay at home crustacean 
overnight sensation
my father's epic mistake
made me a birthday cake
falling from
such low graces
leads to amoral stasis
as i lead you through the mazes 
and the pleasure of 
confined spaces
don't succumb
Munchausen syndrome
go to your room
rooms made of horsehair 
and lead supergloss 
made of cardboard painted garishly 
like glue
morbid morose
lead painted nightmares 
nude window nightscares 
nightmare don't even cover it...

everything looks solid
but on close inspection
it was hollow
just like the soul of the house
colors like a stupid clown

if you touch a thing
you knock it down
we were the biggest joke in town
balancing a cosmic frown
paper house
burn it down

so cold so cold so
very cold
make a fire 
burn it down
make a fire
dance around
make a fire
sacred ground
...

Smoke & Mirrors

So we are stuck in our own ways
I try to spice things up but your eyes have long since glazed

CHORUS
Perhaps in a sad song
Is where we truly belong
Stuck in a sad space
Like half of our fellow race
A tale with a sad sting
You never felt anything
Are we just plain sad or just a phase?
[We are stuck in our own ways
We sunk without a trace
We are stuck in our own ways]

How we struggled through hard times
Searching for some true love but true love is hard to find

CHORUS

So we are stuck in our own ways
But I will break free from this glue one of these days

Stuck In Our Own Ways

kinda funky - a bit 2021 meets the 60s lyric video

we go back to square 1, it's on us all and it's been said and done
we jump up to square 2, reciting promises, they're meant for you
we look to square 3, to break the monotony
we look down at square 4 and pick the pieces off the floor

can you see me, can you hear me, can you feel me, do you know what I'm sayin'
in the same time, in the same place
at the same time, in the same place

say there goes number 5 and all that jive
look to number 6, throw down those drum sticks
7, close your eyes and feel the light
well there goes 8 and then comes 9
9 is for cats, I don't have time for that
10, we hope to see you again, we don't have time for more
.....sorry 11

no time 4 11 - blind session 'n camo

My daughter Tara doesn't really understand the concept of a public payphone. ...and I suppose there is no sense in having public payphones in a post covid world. This is a song to go with the pic I took of the last payphone in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA.

With influences ranging from the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, the glam of Bowie and the nakedness of Iggy Pop - this is Marc Freak.  Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?
