Many close friends have lent their ears during the last phases of completion of this album, gifting me with their impressions, feedbacks and suggestions. You’re too many to mention, but you know who you are. In particular I would like to thank:
Will Fry, for a wise piece of advice during the final editing touches of “No Comparsa Today”.
Axel Drioli; field recordings doyen, and one of the best listening ears on the planet.
Sam Britton; it’s hard to imagine what my musical world would be now if you’d never been around.
Will Worsley, for the patience.
Fred Thomas, for saying “You should”.

This album is dedicated to Gwen; my love, my best friend. You know your part in it.
