About the Album

‘No Postcode’ was commissioned by Mace’s close friend, Victor O’Connor, to be performed at his funeral. It’s the album’s title track and is influenced by the recordings of Frank Zappa and Turkish folk. “The bassline for (the title track) ‘No Postcode’ came first and was in a time signature of three bars of 7/8 and then a bar of 6/8... so 7776. I didn’t know what to call the piece and as the number looked like a postcode, I was hoping it would reveal a place and a story,” Mace explains, “but, the search came up as no postcode!” This piece was played for the first time at Victor’s wake, and despite the fact this song explores the themes of isolation, loss and loneliness - it’s not a sombre listen.
