Holloway Nights by Drew Davies
"The themes on this album are love, loss and hope for a better future as the album acts as a musical snapshot of my life over the past few years. I produced this record with the help of some great friends in my old apartment on the junction of Holloway and Camden Road; it was mainly written and recorded at night. Joe Meek's Telstar Studios was constantly within view and I tried to channel that experimental spirit into the creation of this record.
Numerous alt rock agent provocateurs from past and present influenced me, names like Bowie, Faith no More and Talk Talk combine with a love for synth pioneers like John Carpenter, Brian Eno and the western shades of Morricone. This is all wrapped up with contemporary artists like Bleachers, John Grant and underground artists like Cobra Man, TVAM and Big Black Delta who provided an influence alongside many others."
