Album Notes & Community Reviews

Drawing heavily from his professional experiences working in a psychiatric hospital, the British singer-songwriter's debut solo effort offers a raw, unflinching exploration of mental illness and social alienation. Stripped-down acoustic arrangements and distinctively raspy, emotive vocals provide an intimate, unsettling atmosphere that established his reputation as a unique voice in the outsider folk movement.
