New album The Faintest Idea, coming October 16th.
I have bled and wept trying to forge an album of intensely personal songs, with my solo acoustic guitar and voice placed in an immersive sonic landscape of vast digital skies and warm organic depths.

This music is the product of 7 years of vertigo - Touring the planet to thousands of faces, the birth of our daughter, the loss of loved ones. It’s about a human waking up in the universe blinking at the stars, as the fleeting expression of the faintest idea.
