  What are you hiding, behind your Plastic Alter Ego? It's a disguise, a flexible mask to hide behind. But who is the real you? Plastic Alter Ego is a collection of songs about the people who don't quite fit in to the "normal" world, either through choice or circumstance. They move through a world parallel to our own, either together or alone. Some are lost, some are found, and all have a bigger story to tell - if only we would listen.
  
  This album was written and recorded in various locations around the world, wherever I could find the space and the time. The majority was recorded at home, with some songs written in the loft, some halfway up the stairs, and some on a chest of drawers in the bedroom. Others came from rehearsal studios in London and Swindon, and some of the darker songs were started during holidays in the sun. Magic Mile is a real place in Brisbane (The Magic Mile of Motors), although the kids in the song are entirely fictional. I’m told the sign has been taken away now, which is a real shame. The music was written 5 minutes walk from this location. End of the Line was written in Cyprus, in the blazing sun, beside a swimming pool. I’m afraid to say there isn’t a picture of me on the attic wall, as described in my inverse Dorian Gray title track. Final mastering of the album was the only truly professional stage of the process.
