A story is everything and everything is a story. This story compiled by A La Fu and Brent Handlebear brings the familiar smell of karma in future islands, that search for a safe place, the right face in the wrong place.

Sleep is scarce while the drama takes over. All you wanted was for her to be honest but now your honey has ran and you find yourself stranded in the jungle. But the band keeps on playing. She can kill the man but she can’t kill the dream.

You are not alone.

Look to better days ahead, you are in control and can make it happen. Make it happen.

The air is blue, thick with disdain, pain and of overwhelming loss. You’ve got a bad liver in alcoholic fervour trying to numb the broken heartache. A whirlwind of emotion you turn to the only reliable source and hint of healing you know, your record collection and it’s countless cries of loves lost and cold analysis.

You’re not the only one it reminds you, art is born out of such sentiments.

Brent Handlebear takes us through a personal trip, working his way through the blackness, blackness everywhere  where little lights shine, the blackness drags you down,  let this compilation light the candle in that poor heart of yours.

I hope it’s better when we meet again.
