about

Fleeing from the commercialised sounds found on the 'Infinity Has It Coming' LP, this lo-fi post-ambient record takes you on a dark and haunting journey through the loss of life, love and faith.

When I began this LP, it was immediately after my Mum had lost her battle with leukaemia. I was feeling depressed, hurt, angry and lost. I called this album 'Despair Static' because at the time, things felt like a huge depression that would never go away - but instead just sit there in limbo (like static). During the hardest time of my life, I didn't know what else to do other than make music - representing these emotions that I just couldn’t escape. A form of release, if you will. I wanted a 'rough-around-the-edges but warm-in-the-middle' sounding type of record (hence a lot of artefacts, crackles and distortion) that truly expressed the rough time period of it all.

For this LP, I'm charging a minimum of £2.99, as I feel this is a very important project and any money that can be spared for this record will be donated to Cancer Research UK.

Music isn't a cure, but it's an incredible healer and these are the songs from when I was hurting more than anything in the world and I hope sharing them with you all can help you soul search or find some peace with any conflicting feelings you may feel or have once felt in your life. Thank you.

Dedicated to my Mum, Linda Yelland (6th October 1956 - 15th September 2017).
