The new album, Satin Warrior, moves between landscapes of hope and foreboding, traversing long form compositions that sit between improvisation and structured song writing.

“Music is made from love and hunger, a desire to embrace the fantastic, the exceptional.”

Garwood's soft but gravelly vocal laments guide the listener through his poetic visions where he melds the dreamlike, allowing occasional shades of reality's
light to creep in.
