With roots in mid-20th century rock and R&B, infused with surf, swampy blues and psychedelia, Beyond The Sun Road features 12 tracks that transport you to the golden era of American road trips.
Featuring a twangy guitar reminiscent of spaghetti western soundtracks and a voice that bellows through the valley, you'll feel the essence of the old west flow.

No Greater Love is a 12-minute experimental EP that plunges into the complexities of personal grief and the journey of coping with loss.
No Greater Love seamlessly transitions into the sophisticated sounds of Italian lounge jazz and intricate finger-picked Spanish guitar, offering a musically and culturally rich exploration that pushes the boundaries of genre and emotion.
"This short EP serves as a tribute to a man who meant a great deal to me. I may not have the means to commission a statue, but through this music, I’ve found some way to create a lasting homage in his honour.”

Each track has been meticulously salvaged from the remnants of a broken hard drive. Some songs were captured using basic room microphones, while others benefited from slightly more advanced studio techniques. However, the loss of several or all of the raw files during the recovery process means these tracks remain in their original, unaltered state.
“These resilient WAV files endured my haphazard approach to digital safety. It seems only fitting that they fulfill their destiny as another addition to the dusty shelf of my online back catalogue.”
