about

I went back to Malta this year and wrote this album in the sweltering heat of August. Not sure why, but the Rock always gets me in the mood.
The cover was shot in Valletta, my late grandmother Sunta's hometown..
Very special thanks to Niall Howe, Clark Fisher and Mark Nunis and every single one out there who listens to this. Love you guys.
