Never, and Maybe Not Even Then

Adopting a lyrical style that avoids psychological generalities in favour of second- and third- person narrative, Graham nevertheless manages to establish a very personal mood that is often tinged with sadness, morbidity, and dislocation. The whole effect is compounded by tunes that tend to linger in the mind, leaving the listener strangely uplifted. Of course it all began with a teenager and a cheap acoustic guitar, but Graham's latest foray into song writing was kick-started by the unexpected inheritance of a Hammond organ, the purchase of a second-hand four-track, and the newly forged acquaintance of, then neighbours, Santa Sprees.

"The quirky/discordant organ-tones jostle with careworn vocals that are reminiscent of Stephen Pastel on a downer." - Ptolemaic Terrascope
