Listen to my Verbal Spew

Plug ALERT. My newest piece of creative work is aliiiiive and kicking. It’s named ‘Verbal Spew’ and you can check it out on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and a mix of other outlets.

It’s only around seven-odd minutes long, making it a handy little commuter companion or a something to listen to when you’re on the toilet.

Yes, five tracks of verbal ‘spewings’ about the hilarity and futility of modern life — and how, in some way, we’re all tapped into it, for better or for worse.

The enitre thing pokes fun at existence— I’m also poking fun at myself (I’m just a flawed human, after all)—while celebrating the dumbfounding amusement of being on planet Earth.

Anyway, you can draw your own conclusions. Have a listen and let me know what you think by leaving a comment.
