Liner Notes

In 2018, I released Lightheavyweight, a new kind of record for me. Inspired by an amazing world tour that I was lucky to be a part of, LHW was a series of tracks written on the road with a strong nod to electronica and trumpeters like Jon Hassell and Miles Davis.

LHW 2 is different but similar. Written during our lockdown year of discontent, it’s a local variant, drawing mostly on my St.Kilda/Elwood life. The tunes usually begin with a drum and bass loop and proceed along very spontaneous lines. Sometimes my old pop sensibilities come to the fore with a big chorus. Mostly, I’m happy to meander along, arranging the parts around a single chord and groove. Maybe a full lyric or just a handful of words. Maybe instrumental. A lot of flugel horn this time around and swirling synths; plus some fine guest appearances from Barry Palmer on guitar, Ed Bates on pedal steel, Paul Williamson on tenor sax and Fiona Leonard on backing vocals. Dedicated to Fiona, Spencer and Flynn.
