Wonk Unit – GOOD GOOD GLAD TO HEAR IT CD

The 12 songs on Good Good Glad To Hear It are the diverse fruit of a long term process of songwriting and collaboration that takes the listener on an emotional journey. ‘There are no rules in the Wonk song book other than everything has to have meaning and is important to me. These songs need to be written. They all had, for whatever reason, a burning desire to be released from my head’ says Alex, who estimates that more than half of the vocals, guitars and keys on the finished product were recorded as voice notes using nothing more than his cell phone mic. Aside from ‘EQ magic’ courtesy of long term engineer/co-producer Andy Brook, there is no studio trickery to hide behind, and what appears on the album are the raw takes as played by Alex and his bandmates Vez, Max, Pwosion, Ryan and AJ, as well as a group of studio collaborators adding instrumentation such as keys, horns and banjo.Through Alex’s very personal writing, the band has attracted a large and diverse group of devoted fans who immediately recognise that these are true stories of resilience that can serve as a touchstone in their own lives. The true stories on Good Good Glad To Hear It are certain to find their way to even more.
