This is the first release of mine since putting out my LP 'Dead City' last April. My contributions to this album - songs titled "Reminders of Youth" and "What The Heart Won't Speak Of" - were written in the middle of 2014 and recorded towards the end of the year.
A couple of months ago, after spreading word that I was interested in releasing a split EP, Dom of City Shapes got in touch and expressed an interest in putting this release out with me. Upon hearing Dom's songs, I was very excited to agree to put out a split with him, as he is a very talented musician.
I'd like to thank my wife, family, friends and of course City Shapes for their positivity and support throughout the challenging and rewarding process of creating music.
I'll be back in the summer with another release. Stay tuned.
