Gino's Diary [Sunday Roulette #132]

"Old Mess" began as an intimate piano and vocal track, born in the hushed hours of a front room at 2 AM. It's a testament to Kim's refined skill in crafting music that feels familiar, resonating with anyone who has ever yearned for closure. It has since transformed with Kim’s band who provide a rich raw canvas for her soulful powerful melody lines.

Disorder is taken from Keening's second album - James Francis Diaries.

James Francis was the lead singer of the cult band Strange Ones. He disappeared in 1993 from the island of Losse in Scotland where he was recording his debut album.

In 2022, James’ tapes and diaries were given by James’ parents to the band Keening. Keening had discovered and fallen in love with the Strange Ones' records and learned about James’ disappearance. The original demos themselves, even with digital restoration are unlistenable as James distorted the recordings and overdubbed them with found sounds from the island. Instead of replicating the songs, Keening decided to write their own music inspired by James’ diary, the mystery surrounding his disappearance, his lyrics, and the island of Losse. James’ edited diary is included here for interest and with the permission of his family.

Damn. That’s pretty suspicious.
You’re the man, feeding the fishes.
When I got gas in the tank I head to the city.
I don’t wanna look back, I just wanna look pretty.
I just want to look pretty.

And you, you ask for a pay cheque,
Well this month maybe I, I just couldn’t make it.
Cos you’re the man in black, you think you own me,
But as a matter of fact you barely know me,
Oh thou most holy.

I could have got there faster,
I could have found the answer,
But I don’t have the answer,
No I don’t have the answer.

Damn. That’s pretty suspicious
You’re the man, preying on the fishes.
When I got gas in the tank I head to the city
I don’t wanna look back, I just wanna look pretty
I just wanna look ...
Pretty suspicious.
