"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.

#TheCityWeBecame by #NKJesmin mini spoiler free book review

The City We Became (Great Cities #1)The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This made me feel like I did reading the Poet Anderson novels by Tom Delonge and Suzanne Young. Set in a gritty and dark New York, an unlikely and diverse group of misfits are thrown together as they take on the different districts that make up the big Apple into each of their souls, gaining some unique abilities in the process. The city needs help from an invading, parallel universe force and these guys want to stop it. They've been a part of the city for all of 5 minutes, but now they are it and they will do what they can. We think.

Really interesting premise - a little slow at times, but really quite tense and for the most part, the descriptive writing really nails the grunge nature that is NYC. Unique, modern sci-fi.
