I’m happy to say that I’ve uploaded a new Brother Frank demo onto Bandcamp. It’s a piece that I’m particularly proud of. Theme from Psykos is the opening to an imaginary Scandi noir tv series. Psykos is Swedish for ‘psychosis’; the track being an acknowledgment of the terrifying psychotic episode I suffered in September 2024. It’s still not something I’m able to write/talk about, but after a lot of hard work my health (physical and mental) has most definitely improved, although part of that has involved living in almost complete solitude. I have plenty of new material to work on and I’m getting better at recording and mixing, having realised that I can’t rely on anyone to help in those areas; I’ve scrapped the collaboration I’d planned as the price for having some extra instrumentation and possibly vocals on a track or two would have been too high – the musician in question was trying to control things to the point of undermining my confidence. I don’t accept that kind of negativity in my life any more.
