#ForeignCities Track 5. “Dancin’ Embers” Tempted after a few too many stiff drinks around the campfire, visions can come to any man. Especially a man who saw the edge, the darkness, the end, and then returned. She seems to be calling him in. Maybe just one more…  The feel of this boppy folk-pop song offsets a darker, more sombre, seductive undertone.

Foreign Cities - Track By Track
#ForeignCities Track 4. “Epitaph” Sometimes your dreams don’t make sense. A surreal journey of a little Carnaby Street bowler hat who sees all, a graveyard full of lovers, a dead and buried bird, and a protagonist. Who knows where that came from. More in the rock-pop style, this number features James playing as the full band, over dubbing himself 30 or more times in the studio to...

#ForeignCities Track 3. “Foreign Cities” Fight against it if you dare, but time moves everything forward. Let go or be dragged. Delay-soaked Gretsch electric guitar, close mic-ed lead vocals and a backing of distant voices provides a base for this simple, modern, hymnal style ode to searching for presence of mind.

#ForeignCities Track 10. “In My Dream” Friends and lovers. What would it take for you to tell the truth? You’re alone finally, together. You, her and the years past. Not a soul else left on the planet. Do you say it? Do you feel it? Is it still there? A glockenspiel, an Australian acoustic guitar and an old CasioTone keyboard James learnt to play on in the 1980’s provide the musical...

#ForeignCities Track 9. “Icarus” Some people die young. Only, they don’t die. They come back, pulled from the void at just the right time. They can never look upon the world with the same eyes again. A vocal-heavy, atmospheric track set to music from the middle of the night.

#ForeignCities Track 8. “Flowers” The freedom of a coastal drive, the wind blowing bitterly and the windows down full. Scenes flash by, regular Joes become mythical characters in a story in your confused head as you drive away from lust. Love seems a long way off yet. Originally an acoustic ditty, this became a full-blown electric guitar driven ‘band’ track when James recorded an off...

#ForeignCities Track 7. “Cry Yourself To Sleep” We fail ourselves, friends fail us, God fails us, the spirit guides fail us. But if your faith of any sort is real, how can it ever truly fail? A vocally raw track, inspired again by the vocal performances of Bowie’s ‘Low’ and Lennon’s ‘Plastic Ono Band’ record, this piano, drums and bass built track searches for truth in that final...

#ForeignCities Track 6. “Ab Aeterno” There is no past, no future, only the ‘now’. And the ‘now’ is eternal, since the beginning of time. A Psychedelic, meandering, rock-synth instrumental inspired by Doves and David Bowie’s ‘Low’ record. Originally recorded in James’ bedroom on an 8 Track tape machine in 1999 at 3am in the morning looking out over the mist of the Ku-Ring-Gai valley,...
