We are currently finishing up a 2 song demo that we will be giving away very soon.  Just get in touch for a copy and Ill be happy to send you one.  The sound is in and around the indie rock/country genres.  Possibly somewhere between Neil Young and Bonnie Prince Billy with some special female vocals in there.  The 2 demo songs are definitely on our rockier, less laid back side.  I play guitar on the tracks and have designed the demo’s artwork.  Let us know what you think.

Times beyond the tree is a short portfolio selection of my recent photographs, line drawings, texts and song lyrics.

Loneliness, solitude, emptiness.

Awareness, connections, excitement.

Beauty.

A tiptoed journey that turns dead-end glances to next door’s shadows

An awkward, onward struggle that can never be as expected

A couple lie in bed and listen to one another breathe

An old woman is reassured as a flag signals her death

Two strangers find out they have already met and spoken without words

And a windowsill sunset somehow connects it all together in perfect harmony

The title is a reference to Chris Marker’s photomontage La Jétée . A man travels back in time to save civilisation and find his former love. While in a park, the couple stare at a cut cross-section of a giant sequoia tree that is marked with historical dates. The man points somewhere beyond the tree and says “This is where I come from”.
