Nathan Duin Adrian Smith has been a constant musical presence in my life since I was a teenager and I'm better for it. From Wet Skin and Curious Eye to Painting On Dust it's been an unbroken stream of brilliant and unique music. And this record is particularly grand. Favorite track: On The Beach.

about

This is my lockdown soundtrack. It's also the background to a story. Some of it's far more melancholic than my usual stuff because that's how I felt at the time. It still contains its fair share of drums and discordance and I've managed to fit a few Moog noises in where I can but overall it's a piece of reflection and disownership. We're all in the same mismanaged boat at the moment. Some of us have good captains but most of us have bad ones, and considering we're in the middle of a global pandemic it's criminal that the good and the bad are not working together. Anyway, the eagle-eared amongst you may notice elements of my previous work sneaking into some of these pieces, possibly because this album began life as a remix of "Biblefire" and "I May Be Some Time." It's what I do. I never delete anything and I always sample the past.

Stay safe and learn the banjo.
