Track List
1. Tides
2. Broken
3. Madison

Stu says, “I always felt that Madison was one of those songs that just comes into being with little effort, almost like you’re channelling energy rather than actively writing the song.  I had recently got back from my sisters wedding in Manhattan, it was a time of reflection and renewal for me.  The trip was such a pivotal moment in exorcising the ghosts of my former life, that I almost became homesick for the buzz of the crowded city streets.  The song just kinda ‘fell out’ of the guitar and I had to very quickly grab a portable recorder to get it all down, that portable recorder track later became the acoustic guitar tracks you hear in the final version.  Whilst I was there, I also recorded some binaural soundscapes, those later became part of the final song.  It’s sort of a love song to the city but, also a song about meeting your true self, in this giant city, in a foreign land, surrounded by thousands of people.”
