Yesterday I got into all the fun and quirky things that inspired “Camp” today we take a look at a much more lyrically direct track with “Still Catching Up”. Give it a listen on my YouTube Channel before we jump in: About the Track: Still Catching Up was one of my absolute favourites from the initial demos. It’s not particularly complicated, the same rhythm runs … Continue reading The Clearing Track By Track: Still Catching Up
Moving right along from yesterdays blog breakdown of Pressure Cooker, today I’ll take you through Camp! If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the official music video first: I put together the music video on Saturday just ahead of the official release of The Clearing. While it’d be great to say I have some big music video budget to put something cool together, this … Continue reading The Clearing Track by Track: Camp
Yesterday I talked about the lead-off track on The Clearing called Champagne Birthday and today I’m moving right on to track 2: Pressure Cooker. Listen to the record in full on my YouTube channel: About the Track: Like Champagne Birthday, Pressure Cooker first appeared on A Quiet Place To Scream in more of a rough demo state.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Today I have a special release which is a brand new recording of If Not Now. This song will be on my upcoming full-length record The Clearing but enjoy this alternate version in the meantime. I’ve mentioned before this is the closest thing to a love song I think I’ve ever written and I maintain that thought now as I listen back … Continue reading Crooked Forest Release: If Not Now (Acoustic)
This blog continues on from where we left off in Memory Lane: Wedding Edition Part 1 so head on over there before reading if you haven’t yet. Much like the first instalment, I found myself hesitating a lot before coming here today to write this one, but I think it’s an important story to tell because so much of the world today is still so … Continue reading Memory Lane: Wedding Edition Part II

I don’t hop onto Facebook too often these days unless it’s to answer a message from a friend there, but every once in a while when I do these throwback memories pop up and sometimes they’re worth taking a second to reflect on, like this one from November 17th 2011: Admittedly, I had to laugh a little when I read this one. For one, I … Continue reading Then & Now: A Look Back At 10 Years Ago
While writing my debut solo EP, Jestem Krzywym Lasem, I found myself thinking a lot about an old online friend of mine named Sean Gallagher. As it would happen, this led to a lot of decisions that made the final record, so I wanted to take a bit of time to tell you all a little about him. If you’ve been following my Twitter though, … Continue reading Sean Gallagher
I’ve been holding off on this blog series (I’m assuming it’ll wind up being a mini series) because I’m still in the middle of the whole getting divorced thing. Officially I’ll be able to submit the next wave of paperwork as of November 1st, and then, assuming my ex gets his in quickly, too, we then have to wait for the courts to get back … Continue reading Memory Lane: Wedding Edition
