As vast as the space above your head lies Soul Time Love Space - a galactic journey of genre bending tracks, guitar sonnets and nebulous grooves. Soul Time Love Space has depth, lots of depth. It dives into groovy bass lines and stuttering backbeats only to be lifted up by chorusing electric guitars, heartfelt acoustic confessionals and soul dripping instrumentals.

The ten tracks compliment each other - each piece with a new soul, a new horizon of space to explore. At the end of each song, a new hook will pluck you away, and take you to a new world. Begging you to explore what each track has to offer. The grooviest of bass lines drive the title track, “Soul Time Love Space” into a soaring guitar solo; a showcase of control, and a shining example of Absurd Birds creator, John Paul Bogan’s, talent. And just before you think you have your finger on what you feel Soul Time Love Space is about, you are led back to earth, to the riverside, listening to the mourning wail that is unique of the song “Young.” A window, a feeling and a moment that make Soul Time Love Space more than just a rock record, but an expression of the songwriter and a portrait much deeper than what his sound projects. Ultimately this is what is achieved in Soul Time Love Space, Bogan has created a canvas. Each song occupying a specific part, each mood, emotion, drumbeat, bass line, guitar solo, and harmony perfectly portioned where it should be. Taking the time to explore and admire the worlds that Bogan has created in Soul Time Love Space is biggest gift of the album. From the nebulous forests of the synth heavy, “Space Soul.” To the driving groove of “A Good Feeling,” garnished with catchy guitar licks, a dancing bass line and boxer for drum track. Dense in production and talent, only begging to be explored by fifteenth or twentieth listens, Soul Time Love Space invites you to fall in, nod your head and rock.
