"The Maximalist"

Coming Autumn '09 on Cooking Vinyl Records

"Maximalism believes in life as the most important phenomenon that occupies mankind's thoughts. Life for a Maximalist means actions committed by every moving creature. Further on a Maximalist observes the beauty or the evil of all moving creatures but does not submit or yield negatively to a state of chaos as thinking of all possible movements to be out of man's control. In other words even though knowing it is not the man's decision or desire that makes the world go around, however, it is the lust of life to positively, constructively and playfully continue on being."

"I Dream Of Black"

Released 23rd June 2008 on Drift Records UK and Better Looking Records USA

Ships worldwide from Drift Records Shop Download at iTunes

USA iTunes release: see Better Looking Records

Q Magazine: I Dream Of Black recalls the psychedelic-rock splendour of Spiritualized at their peak. (Q Recommends, ****)

The Independent: This Brightonian (also of The Electric Soft Parade) forges dream-scapes in a DIY spirit on his debut solo album, recorded at home on four-track. The result prizes mood over melody, suggesting languid evenings spent alone in his bedroom. But if you crave heady chin-scratchers ("Will The Moon Ever Rise Again?") in psych pastels, he makes sounds to swim in. (***)
