Then came Sane. Written in a period of unrest and difficulty in life. “Heart music” to save myself and release the turmoil within. Yes, a bit of melodrama to be sure, but heartfelt!
Sane is 3 albums “worth” of material. If I’m being honest, not all worth listening to, but that is how it is with solo work, am I right? (Way to sell it Chris!!)
If you are sad, depressed, and want to wallow in it, this is great music for those times. Grab some wine and headphones.
Mostly of these songs were written long after FPC, and at a time when I was yearning for creative release but band-less, listening to too much Radiohead and Grant Lee Buffalo.
These tracks were largely crafted during the long, long slow failure of a marriage.
The end of the marriage, and the light in front that opens up when one has the courage to enact self-preservation, and move on.
Caffeine Smile is up next, a turning point in sound and direction, and life in general.
