The first EP has been released, but what is it all about? It contains 4 songs all somehow about losing (freedom, privacy, control, hope).
The EP is a collaboration between me and my co producer Big Willy, drummer Rasse Puranen and the artwork was made by Lina Franck.

1. Afternoon Afterlife
   The song starts off as a mid to slow tempo Elton John pastiche and the lyrics describe how we exploit others in their most vulnerable states. It's a frustration in how we're maybe not always living our own lives but instead feast on other peoples and so on. Listen for the twist in tempo changes, there are two. Ending in a light childrens rhyme style with whistling and all...
2. Black Tar Eyes
   This one's a bit heavier with a fantastic drum groove by my supreme drummer friend Rasmus Puranen banging on the tom-toms. A shuffle groove that occasionally moves into a straight 8 beat in the "choruses'' and the bridge/solo. The story is easy to grasp. Addiction comes in many forms and is a curse. Even if you realize you have one doesn't help you to get out of them...
3. From Here to Forever
   A ballad in the style of Jeff Buckley (at least that was what I intended). Un edited for the most part and including a sort of bass solo. Feeling naked and helpless, hopeless. Without any sign of a better tomorrow. A very personal story and I hope you can relate. It's not easy to find your place in the world or in romance.

Night Train to Basel
Last but not least a true story from the night train between Hamburg and Basel. The police rudely pick out and pick on people that don't look white enough. We can't keep on doing this. It's the 21st century for f**k sake. Musically it's a play with the loose strings on a bass, or should I say the tuning of 4 string Bass. E-D-G-A-D...

Til next time, cheers JF
