acerca de

From Scotland to London and back! What makes ‘The Deal’ so interesting from a thematic point of view is that just what “the deal” is… is open to interpretation. It could be a jewellery heist, a big drug deal, a contract killing or a benevolent parent paying huge medical fees for a pioneering cure to save their child’s life.

Indeed, there are snippets of choirs and hymns throughout the album that suggests that at least one of the protagonists has a spiritual yearning of sorts and who never misses a chance to visit a church or cathedral.

Musically, there are acoustic jazz influences with trumpet, saxophone, piano and double bass complementing the guitar compositions throughout the album. There are also snatches of choirs, marching bands, music boxes and street life too.

Somehow, there's a touch of Victoriana hidden within these tracks.It's a reflection of London both past and present. Examples are the Indian tablas in 'Brick Lane' that then segue into a 'Huguenot' choir of times past.
