about

Amazingly we did manage to make an album in 2020. But because we were not able to meet, we worked on individual ideas rather than whole pieces of music. So this album is a collection of ‘miniatures’ - short, single idea pieces that express one thing only. That means you get ten tracks on the album instead of our usual six (hooray!), but that the whole album only lasts a little under 30 minutes (boo!).

In a lockdown analogy, this means you only get to explore a back garden rather go on a full journey, but we did try to vary the gardens for you.

The good news is that we are already working on the next album which will be back to our usual format. Roll on 2022.
