简介
Grit & Gold is an EP conceived by myself and realised with Sam Hanlan over the months preceding April 2011. After releasing my Troubled Bones EP over a year ago, I spent a lot of time relentlessly writing and throwing away hours of material. I finally completed four songs that I was happy to share with people, and work began on preparing to record them. My previous releases have always been painstakingly recorded and executed; lines would be sung over and over, riffs played back and forth in order to achieve the best possible performance in every aspect of my songs. Working with Sam, we decided to just dive in and let the performances speak for themselves. A lot of the stuff you hear on this EP won't be the Red Book Standard, radio-friendly music that we hear so often, but it's what my music is and each song sounds exactly the way I originally wanted it to, and that has to count for something.
