In 2002 a graphic designer - now brand consultant friend a mine Jack Dinan of Yap brand consultancy streamlined this image of a drawing I created which was used for my 'boy from beirut' ident.

You can check the 'orgins' that drove the idea and concept for this drawing here in my notebook and sketches archive.

Below you will find a break down of the four EP's created to date along with information on each and tracks for you to listen to.

Hope you enjoy these tracks.
