Brought together on Im Not Anyone, the 11strong song cycle makes for a unified, soulful experience, with a deep emotional resonance. As Marc says of Im Not Anyone There is an underlying spirituality to this record, a thread of mystery and wonder, and sweetness. The elemental references nod to my interest in all things Druid and Pagan, that spectrum between them, a closeness to the earth, to living things. I find comfort in the living world, in trees and animals, away from the insanity that engulfs and threatens us. Im Not Anyone will be released on BMG on July 12th 2024 on CD, 140g vinyl LP and digital.
