The Solar Agent
released 2009-03-15
The Solar Agent is a concept album about an anthropologist that tries to destroy the sun. The idea behind it was to try and evoke some kind of narrative without actually spelling it out in the lyrics to the listener. At the very least, each part of the story was in the background when I wrote the lyrics. How it matches up or if it even does is something for other people to really decide.
The credits are as follows: I wrote and recorded everything on guitar, keyboards, melodica and a ton of midi instruments. Drums on "Catastrophe Classes" and "Unite the Clades" were done by Mark Bisi and the chorus on "Revisable Cities" includes: Dave Bernabo, Dawn Bisi, Mark Bisi, Luke Ferdinand, Nik Fogle, and Qrescent Mason. Cover art painted by John Pattenden-Fail.
