Coming soon...

At this point, I'm still writing songs, but because I have a dayjob which is time-consuming, I haven't got round to recording new tunes. But they are waiting, and they will be recorded in due time.

Name change

Due to evolving musical ideas and progress, it felt like the old name did not suit the new songs or spirit as well anymore, hence the name was changed. Expect new songs in the near future.
