Leaving behind a background in alt-rock and synth-pop, Adam Scott Glasspool retreated to the 'blue room' of his home in Southampton for a month to record the four songs that make up his debut EP.
On the key track, Nightingale, Glasspool demonstrates that his poetically sensibility is fine-tuned enough to see the beauty of a bird soaring towards the light of the moon. The downside is that he is also "aware of the irony as it floats away from me".
All four songs reflect upon such moments where so-near-yet-so-far state of happiness is constantly frustrated by some physical/emotional divide or other.
Will enough people care about his plight to make this EP a success?
Almost certainly the answer is in the negative and the artist appears to recognise this dilemma himself when he sings on Seattellite: "And now it's me versus the vast sea of apathy".
