about

AFTER HOURS is a collection of early demos, starting points and rough ideas, composed during 2006 and a little beyond.

--

The idea of what may happen “after hours” conjures up images of experiences that may be outside our normal everyday life. The world after we finish work for the day, or once the evening’s activities are over. Or simply what we choose when we need to escape from the ordinary and the mundane. It’s something a bit different, a little more daring – perhaps even more high risk.

We need challenges in order to grow and develop – to move beyond the mediocre. Here we find some of the best tracks from Alex’s wary demo albums, many changed and refreshed with new sounds, along with some new work, all to enhance our experience of what we may encounter outside our daily routine. We must step into these other worlds – after all, why on earth would you want to be ordinary?
