about
The 1980s. The superpowers are always on the brink of nuclear war. TV channels, both in the US and Great Britain, broadcast two significant works: ‘The Day After’, set in rural Kansas, and ‘Threads’, shot around Sheffield. I watched both as a young boy, starting the deep angst for a nuclear holocaust that had been gripping me ever since.

lyrics
Nineteen-eighty-three
On a Friday night—I think
When I took my seat
And the lights went off
On the biggest screen
I cannot tell the way it was
But I went miles away
A boy in a foreign land
A farmer, a soldier
A groom and a bride
Children, a daughter
In the countryside
A doctor, a nurse
The fire in the sky
A priest and a curse
Burns to the eye
Nineteen-eighty-three
On a Friday—I believe
When I watched the film
And the fear would never leave
I use a mix of instinct and academic learning to juggle between art and technology in equal measure. A bass player by trade,
I work in music production and sound design under the moniker Minutes to Midnight.
When I write, great storytelling is my inspiration....more
Not my normal fare, but oddly compelling as always. Hard to pick just one, but I've Been Better is moody and evocative. Also love Baritone at the end. This album is a labor of love and it shows. As with Spiders!, I'm left wishing for more, but settling for repeat play. Venya
It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10. connivingkhajiit
In Adrian Snood’s songs, soulful vocals and slow-moving alt-pop swirl together to create something distinctly moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2023
