about

The songs on this album were all written between 2003 and 2005. They soundtrack my chaotic early 20s living in Blackpool, a windswept seaside town of unique character in northern England. I wrote of feelings that can't be explained and ideas that can't be expressed - the landscape of dreams. The tunes are proper catchy too. I hope you enjoy. - Andrew Bond

Many thanks:
- Rick, Chris Bolton and Riviera Multimedia for their generous assistance in getting the artwork ready.
- Craig Evans and Simon Aston for their help with my website.
- My family and friends, all at Chez Filth and many in the Blackpool music scene for their support, guidance and inspiration. 'Nice one.'

This album is dedicated to the dove of peace, the bluebird of happiness and the fried chicken of satisfaction.
