    Max Hunt's debut solo song-based album 'Hope' is now available to stream /download on the official Fragile Bandcamp page.

    Pre-orders for the CD release are also available and include download and streaming of the digital album. CDs will be dispatched from Nov 8th.

    This album features over an hour of new original music in the form of 10 songs recorded during the worst period of the Covid19 Lockdown 2020/21 and is supported by the Hessische Kulturstiftung.

    For Max 'Hope' represents the personal hope of a renaissance in musical culture and is inspired in part by the despair, anger and depression of this time and conversely the hope, enthusiasm and excitement for a better future.

    Other inspirations for 'Hope' include: Vicar's talking to Toads, the Bavarian 'Alte Kath Zwiefache' dance, reoccurring childhood dreams, Dark Age European history, Space flight, Scifi, fantasy, natural sounds, west African Baka polyphonic Yodelling and Languages.

    CDs come in a 4 page full colour printed slim card Digisleeve design package featuring stunning artwork from US artist Steve Mayerson.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Hope via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.     ... more

Original idea from Fish 13th Star album project sessions 2007

lyrics

Ascent

Living like a dream today, move the sense within
Fast, it came a different way, I may as well give in
Then it came, a wave up there, rolling fast away
Carried me across a void, a place I want to stay

Spiral staircase undersea, coral towers high
And somewhere in a darkened hall, an echo of true peace

Gentle current carry me
Sea and sky was one
Gentle current carry me
Warming in the sun

Drifting, flowing, ebbing, knowing, calming, showing me
Sensing, hearing, dis-appearing, coming nearer, free

Once a dream that started flight, high above the trees
I regress, a calming light, pain begins to ease
Fear of pursuit started it, a dream from years ago
Air like water was the key, if I could find the flow

Drifting, flowing, ebbing, knowing, calming, showing me
Sensing, hearing, dis-appearing, coming nearer, free

Gentle current carry me
Sea and sky was one
Gentle current carry me
Warming in the sun
