about

VERSE is a song cycle of six solipsistic songs created during a period when I was trying to break free from a series of depressive episodes that had virtually crippled me for the best part of eighteen months.

It's attempts to be positive followed by bouts of self-indulgent melancholy, everybody's favourite kind. The six songs are called, HAPPY, GIRLS' FACES, POSITIVE, DANCER, DARK and THE END, and are held together by field recordings from a perfect summer's day. And for the first time on an ironic hill release, a full drum kit, recorded at Blue Line Studios in Bournemouth.

This was the last thing I recorded at my Library Road home studio where the ironic hill project was born. I now no longer have a home studio setup so releases might start to slow down. Still have a couple of things lined up though.

VERSE is the second part of a two-part release. The first part is CHORUS.

The cover photo and the back cover photo were taken one evening at End of the Road festival 2025.

Thanks to River, Olympia, Juno, Ruben, Claudia, Sam and Leah for their voices and the good times.

And, finally, I have to credit Juno for the line, 'There's nothing more realistic than real life', which was something she said that I wrote down and then became my favourite line in the whole thing.

Thanks for listening!

Recorded Aug-Dec 2025
