The album started with the working title of "Fragmented Documents" a reference to an earlier album I felt this material may have had an affinity with. When I showed the new title and cover art to my partner she asked if the title was about us. Oh sad face. No. It is about accepting that … Continue reading Elegantly Drifting Apart

Battlefields: Glory & Memories
