At the End of a Perfect Day

A collection of maritime fables and weary midnight reflections. Intimate acoustic storytelling meets lush, bittersweet 1970s chamber pop arrangements.

It's the perfect record for when you're one glass of wine deep and feeling a little too much about everything.

A weary, salt-crusted nostalgia that feels like reading old letters by a dying fire.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition in 'Discovery' from a quiet bedroom farewell to the grand, seafaring scale of a voyage to America.
The exhausted, honest delivery of the opening lines in 'Perfect Day' where the wine and the weariness take center stage.
The way the strings swell behind the acoustic fingerpicking in 'Broken Wings' to emphasize the isolation of being lost at sea.
