‘West Coast Love Song is one of the darkest songs I’ve ever written & features the incredible Susana Williams’ vocals as well as her appearance in the video & a powerful cameo of her walking out of the ocean onto the beach outside of her home on the Sunshine Coast of Canada. Far from a love song, it has morphed from a lament of loss & sorrow in the deep green of west coast cedar shadows & pacific waves gloaming to a sad, yet eerie & perhaps even violent yarn about a chilling demise along the twilit shores or in the deep lush west coast forests. Though not affiliated, we dedicate it to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls of Canada.’


‘January 22 is our 1st full length album & also the 3rd single & video from the record. The song itself is about the paradox of hope & renewal vs defeat & resignation against a backdrop of the beautiful, shining port city of Vancouver, Canada. Mixed & produced later, it was written & recorded in the cabin of my 27’ Albin Vega sailboat I lived on at the time and all the vocal & guitar tracks are the originals from those Shelter Island Sessions.’
