“Countless nights I’ve been wide awake in my home studio at 1 or 2am working on the album knowing my alarm for work is going to go off in a few hrs, so it can get hard, but we make time for what we love to do.”

The concept implied is that of peacefulness without possessions – the idea that these ‘things’ we collect and value throughout our lives are perhaps not the key to genuine tranquility; even that they’re often a hindrance to it.
Lucy, Racquel and Me have that something special about their songwriting, and always the professional finish lets it hit with memorable impact. Melancholy Fraise is a genuinely impressive album.
Ajak Krak takes listeners down a vintage pathway of vinyl crackles and gentle jazz ambiance with this latest release.

Episodes see the topic vary as far as science, philosophy, spirituality, music, other movies – throughout each show Fletch skillfully balances depth of thought with comedy, making sure to offer something enjoyable and simultaneously thought provoking.

It’s the strength of that bass-line, that thick riff pulsating throughout – this is what you notice, what you take away with you after listening; what you ultimately miss when the silence comes crashing in.
