about

The Fifth Anniversary Remastered Edition of the album that started it all. Featuring the bonus track "Benny Blanco" and special commentary on the origins and making of the timeless classic from The Kid Flames, as experienced by the artist himself.

Original Album Synopsis:
The debut solo album from The Kid Flames, follows the fall of a profiteering, opportunistic made man trapped between the euphoric grandeur and unyielding darkness of New York City in the 1970’s. Realizing, from the top, that he has controlled, manipulated, and extended his reach too far for the last time, and is no longer capable of seeing the bottom. Instead, swallowed by it.

Caught in the throes of his last score, he comes upon an epiphany of cobbled stone–he must get out. The city that loved him, that which allowed him to prevail over his enemies; his once and true home, has become the enemy.

The streets are watching. Their eyes seeing not merely a man; but an end. And like the sound of vinyl when the needle falls off the record, he begins his descent towards it.

- Fiera Michele Smith, May 2019
