Finally, my ancient solo album ESCAPADES (recorded way back in 2005–06) – gets its real follow-up:
WAIT FOR IT... VOL. 1. Four songs about fake happiness, awkward non-dates, geek heartbreak and the rise of authoritarianism. With lots of piano and strings.

WAIT FOR IT felt like a fitting title for these uncertain times, as the world is collectively holding its breath while fascist bozos are acquiring positions of real power, making it more legit than ever to behave like a real asshole. What are we waiting for? Is something really bad to happen? Because I sure don't know what to think. End of the world or not; most people would probably just sit on this rock and just wait for it. Like I myself had the hindsight to do back in 1987, as the cover picture clearly proves.
