“the songs on 'end of the beginning' wrangle with love and fear and finding our place here; simple but big stuff we continue to scratch at, even if it hurts.”
From the shifting ground of cities and souls: Wholesale Angel Market explores desolation, redemption, and the animal instincts lurking in the far corners of our rooms on their haunting debut, while alphabets captures fleeting moments through Roland SP555 sound collages — ambient, noisy, jazzy, and sometimes nothing at all. Darren Hayman bridges centuries by adapting William Morris' 19th-century socialist chants with warm, fuzzy guitar and broken pianos, recorded on Morris's own piano. Two For Joy offers a DIY meditation on playing music without anyone really listening — love, childhood, alcoholism, and escape all folded in.

“This album was partly inspired by Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, partly a concept album with old-school general midi.”
