Not so electronic this time, quite organic with more guitar and traditional intrumentation. I played my songs to Andy Weatherall and he likened them to Emmy-lou Harris meets the Velvets. He also mentioned the LP 'No other' by Gene Clark which I have adore, so he was spot on. It is very lyrical and vocal led. Full of heart-felt intimate moments, Andrew reckons it is my strongest work to date, it is exciting to get that kind of feedback!
