    #UKIP Nigel #Farage describes people who disagree with him as fascist scum. I think Nigel needs to make acquaintance with a mirror.

Love Against Death

Peace against War. Hope against Hate. Unity against Divistion. Freedom against Fear. Love against Death.

The album was born and brought up in Kilburn, England, and comes to you by way of Austin, Texas. I'm an unwilling member of the generation defined by neoliberalism. One of Thatcher's children, who became Blair's adults. This album is a howl against both, a direct challenge to a world where we are judged by what we consume rather than what we contribute.

'Love Against Death' is a challenge to a reality dominated by greed, inequality and injustice. 'Love Aginast Death' is the choice we make at every moment, in every relationship, and by every action. It's about choosing sides.

The album was recorded in Austin, Texas and produced by Mark Hallman. After hearing Mark's work, with Eliza Gilkyson in particular, I realised he would be perfect. It was just a matter of bribery, threat, and persistence. I wanted to capture my live guitar sound, and Mark is the absolute master in this area. He has also produced Carole King, Ani di Franco, Tom Russell, Iain Matthews, as well as working with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Oasis and Lyle Lovett. Job done.
