The album is a musical tattoo, sketched, outlined & inked over a decade.
An audio-visual concept album. A collaboration between five unconventional artists.
The Blacksmith Sun is a journeyman’s story, observational, reflective - at times raw and vulnerable. The album was intentionally made to be listened to from beginning to end and in so doing it charts milestone moments in a life. Some of these moments are deeply personal, others are experienced as an observer.
“The Blacksmith Sun is a dark narrative interspersed with a smattering of light playful touches. Guitars carry the orchestration on a backbone of percussion, drums and keys and cover a full quotient of popular music styles through country, rock, blues and alternative colours. It’s heart beats to the rhythm of rock and blues; play it loud from start to finish.”
