Album title? Impetus

Where did the title of your new album come from? 'Impetus' by definition is the force that makes something happen or happen more quickly. This particular word perfectly sums up my lyrical motivation behind this album. 

How many releases do you have now? This is my second release, following my debut EP in September 2015, Just A Thought.

How long did it take to write/record? The writing process began in January and concluded at the beginning of April. I recorded this album over the course of April/May with Trevor Carter of Studio 52.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? During the writing period, I struggled to process emotions. The breaking down of a two-year relationship was a driving force behind the album. No break-up songs, but there are songs from very sincere places. 

What's your favourite song on it? Numb is a standout for me, mainly because of the way the song was written. It's powerful. 

Will you do anything differently next time? My next album will be more directly focused on listenability, that's what everyone wants these days. I will continue to strive for lyrical.

When and where is your launch/next gig? 19 & 20 Nov, The Loft, Warrnambool
