New Single - The Vessel

 Well, after the distributor shenanigans mentioned in the last update I can now confirm that The Vessel is on track to be released to all streaming services on 27 November.

Superhero will probably follow in the new year, but for now, here's a little bit about how The Vessel came to be...


I was at a songwriting retreat a few years ago and one of the exercises we were given was to write a song about our identity.
As a middle-class, educated, heterosexual, able-bodied, neurotypical, white male who grew up all over the place I realised that I didn't identify as anything.
Basically I'm so vanilla I'm beige. Average height, average weight, average male-pattern hair loss...
I am the default and the western world is designed for and around me.
This is the song I wrote about that...
My good friends Martin Walker and Eddy Deegan join me on this one to add some actual talent, and Martin took on the mixing duties.
