about

Originally I envisaged this release as 'The Apocalypse Blues EP,' featuring the title song and three other tracks all thematically related to each other. It has grown into a full length album and I'm very happy that it has. All of the album shares a common theme, which can be stark and downbeat at times...but as a reflection on worldwide events and society in general, it's hard for it to be anything else. I have tried to inject a little humour here and there though, so it's not all doom and gloom. I enjoyed writing and recording this special project very much, I hope you enjoy listening to it too. - Clatch
