Including a tribute to his stepmother in a song called “Judy” who disappeared from his life when he was twenty one years old. Other key tracks include: “Oceanside” - a hypnotically percussive mystical rocker. Its intensity provides the foundation for musings about the solace that mother nature provides him during times of intense tribulation. In short, the ocean has a healing power. “Brain Place” - an epic indie-rock gem that addresses how overwhelming today’s world can be.
