"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.

#RiversOfLondon #CryFox Graphic Novel mini spoiler free book review

Rivers of London Volume 5: Cry FoxRivers of London Volume 5: Cry Fox by Ben Aaronovitch

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A story of kidnapping, talking foxes and hunting humans for sport, Aaronovitch and Cartmel are on superb form for this graphic novel which I felt had a meatier story than some of the previous entries, but without losing any of it's charm. The returning artists Lee Sullivan and Luis Guerrero bring their mastery to the new and returning characters, especially the sly and hipster looking Reynard and the talking foxes who look surprisingly real.

Again, we're treated to some more mini comic stories at the end of the book, which are nice witty additions, as well as 2 entries on the history of the fox in literature. These historical entries which have been in Cry Fox and Detective Stories are a welcome addition to the collection and are fascinating insights into the influences to the stories.

Definitely another one for the collection then, folks. Enjoyed this thoroughly!
