Cassette + Digital AlbumDaniel Hugh’s debut solo album, Now or Never, is available on limited edition tape cassette featuring the full album on side A, and never before heard Instrumentals on side B.
Now or Never is a 1980s-inspired synth pop/new wave journey through a broad spectrum of human emotions and experiences. From love and loss, to regret and change, strap in for the ride! The Instrumentals, shows the album in a whole new light, featuring alternative versions and collaborations throughout. It places the 80s-inspired instrumentation at the centre of the listening experience and lets the music do the talking.

lyrics
He wonders all the time just how he got here
All the choices that he made over the years
Has he lived a life based on someone else's dreams?
Or has he just ignored the feeling that he's meant for bigger things?
When you're halfway done
And there's less to come
Will you dare to run?
When you're standing there
And you're feeling scared
Cause you're unprepared
He never thought he'd end up feeling like this
Just woke up one day and realised
He'd become the very thing he'd always hated
And the thought of change left him paralysed
When you're halfway done
And there's less to come
Will you dare to run?
When you're standing there
And you're feeling scared
Cause you're unprepared
'Cause it's never the right time
Never the right time
Never the right time
But if not now, then when?
If you're going, then go
There's always a reason to say no
Cause it's never the right time
It's never the right time
And it's not as though he never asked the question
Could he make a change? could he find another way?
But it's only now he questions the assumption
That he ever made a choice to live this way
When you're halfway done
And there's less to come
Will you dare to run?
Cause there's never a right time
'Cause it's never the right time
Never the right time
Never the right time
But if not now, then when?
If you're going, then go
There's always a reason to say no
Cause it's never the right time
It's never the right time
Too much to lose?
Too many unknowns?
Is it too late?
To make a break?
To make a change?
To take control?
To just let go?
Just let go
'Cause it's never the right time
Never the right time
Never the right time
But if not now, then when?
If you're going, then go
There's always a reason to say no
Cause it's never the right time
It's never the right time
Never the right time
Never the right time
But if not now, then when?
If you're going, then go
There's always a reason to say no
Cause it's never the right time
It's never the right time
All the choices that he made over the years
Has he lived a life based on someone else's dreams?
Or has he just ignored the feeling that he's meant for bigger things?
When you're halfway done
And there's less to come
Will you dare to run?
When you're standing there
And you're feeling scared
Cause you're unprepared
He never thought he'd end up feeling like this
Just woke up one day and realised
He'd become the very thing he'd always hated
And the thought of change left him paralysed
When you're halfway done
And there's less to come
Will you dare to run?
When you're standing there
And you're feeling scared
Cause you're unprepared
'Cause it's never the right time
Never the right time
Never the right time
But if not now, then when?
If you're going, then go
There's always a reason to say no

What can I say? Chaos Mesa is a perfectly dark synth pop masterpiece. Filled with melodies that are catchy as all hell, and stay with you long after the song ends and impeccable keyboard hooks and sound design. A must have for your indie electronic music collection.
