Darren Hayman and his Electric Guitars - Amazing ThingsA year ago Darren lost a friend to cancer. Amazing Things is an album about death which isnt morose, slow, or quiet. Instead, it is packed with joyful, melodic guitars and some of Darrens prettiest tunes. It is sometimes very sad, but also heartfelt, loving, and rewarding. Darren recorded the album almost entirely solo and this time he has dug deep into his primary instrument, the electric guitar, creating a sound that is rich in tone and texture.
