It is clear from the very first notes that we are dealing with a great musician and composer.

Unique!
Stereotypically, growing up in Cornwall means you end up sheltered and closed-minded right? Well somehow I’ve ended up making a debut album on openness. South West Music School was a big part of that, as was my composition degree at RBC under tutors such as Michael Wolters and Howard Skempton. Shoutout to all my musical mentors over the years, the classical ones, the jazzy ones, the simply inspiring ones, the experimental ones. All that’s left is for me to do is combine these influences into one album, Glasnost.
Glasnost is an experimental indie rock album that seeks to push the norms of popular music in as many directions as possible. It merges genres such as Baroque with jazz and rap, but also alternative rock with Indian classical elements, as well as challenging rhythmic possibilities through complex, sometimes phasing, irregular meters.
