Oscillator by Hypnotic Eye
This album was made for no one but Freddie and myself. I’m glad if you don’t like it, and if you do. In a world where hypocrisy, injustice and inequality rule, I would ask anyone reading this to reflect on their own position in the world. Empathise with those who, simply by chance, are not as fortunate as yourself. Show compassion. Think before you jump or judge. We’re the same.
- Josef Boronski, August 2017

Joe would like to thank Frederick James French-Pounce for constant support, friendship and lifts; Lucy French for giving us a space to practice and for always being amazingly hospitable; Lucy Morrison for sharing Freddie with me; Pete Mills, Connor Stonner, James O’Keefe and BandSoc York for giving us some sweet gigs; The Red Lion for showing me the kind of failed, ageing rocker that I don’t want to turn into; Abbie Ruse for always supporting our music and (most of) our life decisions; Andrew Mayfield for fathering me; Adrian Pounce for his invaluable inspiration in both music and style; my parents for putting up with me practicing at home, and the other stuff they’ve done for me.
Freddie would like to thank Joe for having so many cool ideas, and for bringing such great songs to the project; Lucy for her unending love and support, and for putting up with the numerous listening sessions; Adrian for pursuading and encouraging me to take up the drums in the first place; my mother for the use of the barn, the countless meals, and for having to bear the brunt of hearing this album take shape in the flesh; Ryan for being a great help in my early development of mixing; Gavin for his support and enthusiasm; and FD55 EWZ, without whom we would have never made it to any gigs, rehearsals, or have recorded this album. This one’s for you Fred.
