Content Warning: This Long Player touches upon the matter of suicide.

David Adison (Adison Whitley) first released his debut album, 'Multiplicity', in 2017, which was much-loved around the bFM community and airwaves. Sadly, Adison passed away in 2018. He left recordings he made with his younger brother, Jordan. Jordan mixed and mastered David Adison's last recordings to form his posthumous album, 'David Addison', in time for the release to coincide with the 3 year anniversary of Adison's passing.

Jess had a chat to Jordan about his memories of recording the album with his brother and his experience putting it all together.

All proceeds from this release will be going to Music Helps
