"From out of the dark"

From Out Of The Dark

From out of the dark is a collection of 6 songs finished during the infamous Covid lockdown of 2020, drawing musical influences from many different genres and based on different themes close to my heart.

Some with a narrative, others about how I felt a particular junction in life, playing music, writing and recording songs has been a great outlet for me and helped me deal with and express myself in a productive fashion.

With no single genre over the six songs I decided to put them out as From out of the dark, to show how something good can come from the darkness. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making them.

I appreciate so much all the friends and family who have helped critique these tracks ready for public consumption. Thanks also to my younger sister, Hannah, for providing her vocal talents and lyric writing on two of the songs.

#TheRumDiary by Hunter S Thompson mini spoiler free book review

The Rum DiaryThe Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is one of those books that I really like, whilst simultaneously not really being sure why. Thompson as a knack for describing the sordid - the alcohol fuelled world of journalism happening in Puerto Rico feels realistically sweaty, grimy and quite gross. Everyone body is too hot, too drunk and too angry at the world and the descriptions Thompson provides, as well as the crude, short and snappy dialogue does much to absorb you into this world.

It's just that not a lot happens for a long time, before it all seems to happen in droves. It makes you question who and why you agree with and your own morales, all the while feeling like you're sweating rum through your very pores.

Worth a read if you're a fan.
