Indie rocker Francis Alban Blake just released his new album "Passages" and to celebrate we asked his to tell us about the Leonard Da Vinci single "Blisters". Here is the story:

The song Blisters came to me on a dark damp and misty Dutch winters day. I say came to me, because like with 99% of my songs, it more or less happened in a short stretch of time. I had just bought a Korg MS2000 synth for in my studio and had brought it there, but I was in the situation where I actually had to drive home for dinner - my wife had already rang to say it was on the table- but I couldn't resist the urge to plug this new purchase in and check it out. Since I'm a guitarist first and a piano player last, I was surprised to find myself touching the keys and instinctively playing this rather vague melody. It made no sense to me and its rhythmic pattern and feel when I moved my fingers over the keys made it something real fun and addictive to play. Mesmerizing. I recorded it on my phone so I wouldn't forget. (continue)
