PRE-SAVE LEAD SINGLE – ABSOLUTED II (release date 10 July 2026)
Paul Farran was in Kabul when two gunmen stormed the Serena Hotel. He escaped. Seven people did not. One attacker was captured alive, with a vest he could not bring himself to detonate.
Stems from Darkness is the work that followed — a continuous project across a 12-track album and a companion memoir, centered on rupture: how memory persists, reshapes, and resists resolution.
Album release: Fall 2026. Memoir edited and forthcoming. Immersive musical audiobook in development.
Together, these works form a unified, multi-format project.
“rich and mellow flow of shining glints of picked guitar and Farran’s dusky vocal reflections”
