Biography
You know you're on to something when you settle down to describe an artist who attempts to meld the lyrical folk of Elliot Smith, with the violent outbursts of Lightning Bolt and the jam stylings of the Grateful Dead.
Live, he loops himself, singing verses before diving behind a drumkit and flailing around with his own beats.
On record, he self produces and refines these ideas to make a surprisingly listenable, but stunningly affecting piece.
His debut ‘I'll Be Lightning' features the singles ‘Second Chance' and ‘Better To Be', which were released on very limited 7"s with individual photo covers taken by the man himself.
