Details:
Bruce Springsteenâs album Nebraska was a guiding light for Chris. âStructured songs of this nature are rarely stripped down to their very essence and recorded with such honesty and immediacy. I wanted to make an album with the same kind of spirit as Nebraskaâ¦â¦.â

The story behind this new album is best summed up in Chris's own words. "Writing and recording these ten songs has been a spiritual and emotional road trip. I took the ten songs and stripped them down to their very core. The reason was simple. I wanted to return to a directness and intimacy with the listener and also with myself"

Chrisâs music has a literate quality within its sub text and has recently been compared to auteurâs such as Harry Nilsson and Jim Webb. At the same time there is a pop sensibility which embraces echoes of the Beatles, early McCartney through to the angular experimentation and charm of Badly Drawn Boy and Bright Eyes.
