Unbroken – an album of dark ambient atmospherics. Piano, guitar and vocals. Set on a single day under La Ninya skies. Each track follows contemplations moving from dawn through the day and into the midnight rainstorm.
- Unbroken – in the calm of morning grey – I hold you until we’re unbroken
2. Stumble – a walk to the coastal cliffs reveals paradox in the beauty – no land without stones, no sea without bones
3. Sometimes – middle of the day in the bush – the madness and joy of nature – sometimes when they laugh, the air lifts …
4. Swagger – we give thanks in the afternoon – for all that has been given – we wait for darkness, to show the vibrant stars in all their swagger
5. Desire – evening contemplation – desire has not wings – it swims with fins and tail – your ghosts in me
6. Shadow – in the middle of the night – vulnerably we offer the deepest embrace under a cracking La Ninya rainstorm
