Death of Some Freak pt7: Dane Bank Observatory
observatory nerve centre. It is never this tidy.
And, so it was that I left Australia and came back to the northern hemisphere. A few intensely crazy months checking out some of the world’s cultural power centres and then bang – back at mum’s house, dreams shattered, broke, alone, as if the last 10 years had never happened.
Thus the Dane Bank Observatory came about; quite simple really, Dane Bank is our little anonymous east manchester suburb, and it’s an observatory because this year I’ve been paying attention. The idea came to me in Berlin as I was leaving, tail firmly between legs. I knew it’s what I had to do.
So, here from the DBO are a bunch of observations. I didn’t make a massive amount of tracks this year but I’m pretty happy with what I did. These are my favourites (my favourite Some Freak tracks anyway).. quite a mixed bag I reckon, a pretty good effort.
It’s my first ever Album as Some Freak. And my last! Many of the tracks I’ve shared before, but there are a few exclusives on here…I think these tracks really tie up the whole Some Freak project neatly; they act as a very elaborate punctuation mark; a sweet synopsis!
