about

“Sadness Be Damned” is a soundtrack to a non-existent film, listeners can create the film in their head as the album washes over you – a film without pictures.

The album came to life in a very intimate and isolated manner. “Some of the demos were written when I had to isolate with Covid in a hotel room on the edge of a desert. It came as a reaction to the void that we were all feeling – but it’s not a Covid album. I wanted it to be something more universal than that. The album is an antidote to loneliness, exploring the contradiction that you can be in love or living in a bustling city but still feel alone. It tries to elevate or battle against those feelings through the atmosphere and flow of the songs.”
