"The Sun Sets and I Keep Walking" is not a conceptual album by any means, but there are some ideas orbiting. The title track and a couple of others ("The Eternal Now", "Golden Aether") are a reflection on mortality and transcendence, whatever that means. Big words, hopefully expressed in an unpretentious manner. "Lie is the Force that Rules the World" is overtly political; it tries to express the uncertainty of these times of fake news, deep fakes and all-in- between-fake. Deceit is indeed a powerful weapon pointing at us all nowadays. "Gnostic Switchblade" is somewhat related, albeit taken from the other side: spirituality is an active form of resistance from that aggression. Maybe there is no way out, but there is a way. Finally, in a lighter note, "Smokehead" is a reference to both my live shows always full of smoke and the smokey flavor of a good Islay Scotch, which I'm very fond of.
I hope you like the album. Thanks for listening."
