Even though I had left the band by this point, I was in the studio at Rockfield with Julian when this was being recorded. I thought if this is where the band are headed, things are going to get really interestingโpossibly my favourite Teardrops song.

Between 1996 and 2006, in a respite from The Wild Swans, I made four albums, two EPs, and a compilation under the name Skyray. Weirdo. x

Today is Bandcamp Friday, when independent 80's musicians turned corporate rock-whores turned independent musicians again, manage to recoup a little of their recording costs. I invite you to explore the fantastical world of my wilderness years project - Skyray (1996-2006). X
