23 by USRNM
A response by Stuart Bowditch to the new series 23 conceived by Alastair Johnson (Alien)
This album charts a difficult and emotional journey
between one passage of life and another
leaving behind the familiar
traversing rocky and tumultuous inner terrain
to salvage the self
to forget and forgive
to love and to live.
*Reviews*
Bandcloud - 'a big middle finger to list season and any notion of marketability.'

Freq Mag - 'emotive and unsettling and that can be said about the whole thing.'
