Welcomer's Miles Sutton interviewed me about the new album. I love the idea of us musicians interviewing each other on our own platforms and I'm excited to share this.

Seymour's privatisation push David SEymour believes privatisation is a good thing. Let me refresh his memory. The BNZ had to be bailed out...twice, and is now in foreign ownership. The railways had to be bough back, having been run into the ground by foreign private ownership. Air NZ had to be bought back, having been destroyed by incompetent private management. The CBD of our largest city was blacked out because of inadequate maintenance to boost returns for shareholders. Our electricity system is a mess and "competition" costs of consumers moving between escalators that only go up, never down. Seymour is a typical neo-liberal idealogue who refuses to abandon his ideology in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary McDowall, Rotorua

The title is a line from an Elizabeth Strout book called 'Oh William!'. We're all perfect and broken and we all have these stories beneath us and between us. We build lives upon lives and we leave things unsaid.
