Long Wave Home is energized and rings with the promise of a fre sh new chapter for the artist.
"When I was faced with the challenge of writing and recording a new album. I had the choice to stay where I was comfortable\, under the sage guidance of a producer or step out into the dark and produce it myself. It became clear\, that if I was going to grow in the craft\, I needed to become my own lighthouse. So I made the commitm ent to take on the Producer role. There were a lot of sleepless nights.
Writing Long Wave Home\, though no less daunting\, became a refuge for me—a place to explore interpersonal connections and the rise and fall o f emotions that come with relationships. Writing an album is very agitatin g\, but it’s a discomfort I am… comfortable with. What a gift it is to spend my time examining my inner world\, my relationships\, and from it … make music.
My life took an unexpected turn in 2025. Many people exited my life… like a bus pulling into the station. Some of these rela tionships were of great importance\, so I had much to wrestle with in thes e verses.
Disconnect\, or the illusion thereof\, was also fodder for songs—amid the chaos and confusion we are creating in this world. I fee l a responsibility to record what I see transpiring among us: what is bein g done… by whom and to whom.
The song titled Caravan articulates t he risks of investing in or relying upon intimate relationships. The title track\, Long Wave Home\, addresses a certain estrangement that I believe we are all feeling\, as technologies isolate each of us and make connectio ns feel ever more distant. Playground is a protest song advocating for the children of Gaza.
Recording this album was a road trip and a forage —me and a hard drive in a camper van\, pulling into studios up and down England\, gathering material. I enlisted engineers Leo Abrahams (at The Sh ed in London)\; Jim and Rob Homes (at Empire Sound on the Isle of Wight)\; Jim Barr (at J&\;J Studio in Bristol)\; and Tim Thomas (at Blueprint i n Manchester). I brought in Jesse D Vernon to arrange brass and tuned perc ussion. I brought in Sebastian Rochford on drums\, Jon Thorne on bass\, an d Sam Amidon to play a cast of stringed instruments. Over three weeks\, I roved my way through these sessions\, gathering performances. I slept unde r viaducts and ancient oak trees\, and I woke to dewy\, glistening pasture s. I found the best cafés\, and I swam in the sea. The sessions felt like discoveries—surprise after surprise—as the musicians and engineers co lored the tunes\, each in their own way. With a full hard drive and heart \, I returned to Manchester—to Tim Thomas—where we laid out the sessio ns like bolts of raw material and constructed the album.
Long Wave H ome is not just a renewal of my commitment to the craft of writing and rec ord-making—it’s a vote of confidence and an investment in myself as an artist and authority over my vocation and life’s path.
