After the break-up of Midnightshot, Alek Rein went solo. Having a year off from studying, the impact of daily life in the Capital without a busy routine is his main source of inspiration. The folk and psychedelic manifestos written in the 60s are his mantras to challenge the constant depression, haunting and lurking from every dirty corner of the City. - 'I love the warmth of our dear earthy folk, which can burn into passionate protest fire.'
