* S T A S I S * EP - 2019 / 20.

- S T A S I S - is the fifth studio release and follows the 2017 title "Head Towards the Sun". It's a poetically  ruff sawn batch of lyrics that sit dove tail on a bed of rootsy guitar and dynamic rhythms that have explored 7/8 time signature and even a Samaba, among other influences.

Recorded in Far North Qld, in various locations. The title predominately gained shape and meaning whilst recording in a house in Wondecla near Herbaton. That week of recording gave rest to the full time touring of 2017 and open pathways to assimilate production idea's that seemed unorthodox in other studio's or were merely  impossible to achieve living in a bus.

The opening track 1HZB50R Blues, unearths a Geyser of observations that come with living on a bus and touring every state of Australia. The montage style video that launched the song prior to release is a small window into the subconscious visual observation that influenced the song itself. It's a Playful, unsettling, comedic clip that leans heavily on pop art to express the constant displacement of a touring artist

 Be sure to look on the VIDEO page for the TedX JCU a testimonial to career resilience and achieving personal goals and feeling complete as an artist.

Support for Harry Manx, Donavon Frankenreiter, The Waifs, Gomez, Angus and Julia Stone, Neil Murray and Jeff Martin to name a few.
