Abandoned Buildings by Duncan Parsons

Abandoned Buildings
Songs of Love, Loss, and Questions,
By Duncan Parsons

Abandoned Buildings is a concept album telling a tale of grace against a backdrop of falling in love and failing in love.

Released in late 2012, this was Duncan's return to recorded music after a decade and half.

‘Parsons writes catchy ditties and clever lyrics, he also possesses the ability to make restrained ideas have more impact than first impressions would have you believe.’ (Sea Of Tranquility)

‘..mixes a dry wit with a wonderfully observant line in lyrics, this is an album that will both delight and provoke thought in equal measures.’ (The Waiting Room)
