You Will Always Want More (and Never What is in Your Hand) EP

The fourth EP is a bittersweet collection of love songs. Twisted tales of clinging onto love, getting over love and daring to love set against the backdrop of summer riots and stolen lazy afternoon moments.

  Track Title Price
Holding Your Smile [4:39]  lyrics
An attempt to cling onto the good things, at the same time turning away without a second glance. A bluesy, ska flavoured track set against the tense touch-paper backdrop of the London riots.

Put Down Your Cry [3:55]  lyrics
Concerned that post-love suffering has almost become self-indulgent, the song is a call to shake some sense into someone wallowing in the darkness.

Will I Be Broken Tomorrow? [4:29]  lyrics
A cautious embrace of the future possibilities that are now on offer. The singer questioning if it is safe to emerge from the muddy waters and to stumble into the light.

Let's Waste the Afternoon [3:45]  lyrics
A chocolaty dark and velvety jazz track with an hors d'oeuvres of twisted trumpet and double bass. It is a plea for the rest of the unimportant world to disappear, leaving two people.

Tub Dub (Sure Footed) [3:55]  lyrics
Thudding deep bass and funky beats are backed by a chorus of voices in counter melody, in a song about a planned seduction. Twinkling piano and hand drums drive the track to its ironic conclusion with the singer determined to stand her ground.

Beyond Repair [3:56]  lyrics
Growling bass, dirty retro Nu-jazz beats and swirling strings echo with themes of money grabbing, gambling and knocking bailiffs. Like the current political climate, what has been broken can never be put back together. There are no more aces, the relationship gamble has been lost.

Peppermint Rock [3:49]  lyrics
Electro-jazz dub bass slides and glides with operatic strings. We wonder at the world we have built for ourselves and say: ‘The rot runs from the bottom to the top, just like Peppermint Rock’.

I Love you, I'm Sorry [3:23]  lyrics
A haunting string line woven with confessional lyrics about someone who has taken a dark path and who pleads: ‘I love you, look at me, I’m sorry’.

Love and Honey EP (2010)

‘Love and Honey’ is a collection of 4 self-penned and produced original songs about love, obsession, manipulation, abandonment, journeys beginning and ending and the human condition. The EP blends haunting layers of deep, bluesy vocals with electro-jazz, trip-hop dance beats, organic samples and melancholy string undertones. The Mag: 'A solid electro-opera that is to New Order what Meat Loaf is to Led Zeppelin. It has hints of Lunascape, but on this record the dream is much darker'.

The Trap EP (2009)

The title of the debut EP refers to the 'traps' we find ourselves in throughout our lives. This could be a physical trap, like a situation you can't get out of or a trap of our own making, in our heads. The EP is only available on this website.
