IN THE HANDS OF LUNATICS

Much Like The Garden of Eden, this is an album full of variety; it is unpredictable, humorous, sad, reflective, celebratory, fun and satirical. In The Hands Of Lunatics is an exploration of the strange, fragile and often contradictory world we inhabit. I wanted to look at the madness that surrounds us - from the cruelty of social media and the abuse of power, to personal guilt, forgotten heroes, lost innocence and the struggle to find meaning in an imperfect world.

The album moves between anger, humour, tragedy and tenderness. It challenges the voices that tear people down, while celebrating those who quietly carry the weight of everyday life. It looks at the lunacy we create, the scars we carry, and the moments of beauty we often overlook.

From the open plains of Dust and Thunder to the haunting memories of In Loco Parentis, the album is a journey through human experience: a reminder that we are all shaped by what we endure, what we remember and what we choose to do with the time we have.

In The Hands Of Lunatics is ultimately a reflection on humanity itself - flawed, complicated, sometimes destructive, but still capable of compassion, courage and hope.
