about

The album title ‘Football Chants and Nursery Rhymes’ derives from a conversation I had with a musician friend who commented on what type of music people say the like in relation to what they actually buy. This sentiment also extends to record labels who imply they are looking for something new and different yet seemingly release the same kind of music. “Although they think something different, all people actually want is football chants and nursery rhymes”.

Dispensing with any drums or percussion on the majority of the fourteen tracks across the album, ‘Football Chants and Nursery Rhymes’ is the antithesis of the immediate social media driven world, an unhurried atmospheric journey of organic and electronic soundscapes, sometimes uplifting, sometimes anxious, reflecting the uncertain times we have seen, and are currently living through.
