David Ian Roberts - David Ian Roberts (2024)

On this self-titled 5th album, David searches deeply into his past, and his subconscious, attempting to express dreams, hallucinations, and his mental health struggles. The arc of the album takes the listener from states of euphoria, through darker moments, and eventually finds a sense of peace.

“Most of the recording took place in 2022, in that strange post-pandemic
daze where we were all kind of putting our lives back together, and I think
that comes through on the album in a way - there’s a sense of waking up and rubbing your eyes until you can see straight again, and that wide-eyed, hopeful anxiety of coming back into the world. I was very glad to be able to channel that into something.”

"The artwork is a photo I took through an old kaleidoscope that I used to play with as a child. I reversed the colours, to make it like a negative"
