'Lilith' is a tale of enchantment by the mythical Lilith, succumbing to her powers in the dark desert and being reborn. A demon to some, a feminist icon and goddess to others, this is an homage to the 'first woman'.

This release is also my tribute to one of my favourite genres; desert rock. Inspired by my visit to the Mojave Desert area of Joshua Tree, CA earlier this year, it was a fun way of capturing the energy and wonder I felt by giving it a creative outlet. The artwork is a nod to desert rock legends Kyuss and their album 'Welcome to Sky Valley', whilst the B Side cover of 'Song for the Dead' by Queens of the Stone Age was just the perfect desert rock excuse to collaborate with my friend Presley Zierman, a talented LA-based drummer, and for me to have a load of fun on guitar!
