As a singer-songwriter Kroft chronicles life in the 21st century and the adventures of his own spirit. Widely unknown in Europe, he considers himself in exile from the UK. New song ‘Memoirs from the Afterlife’ attempts to portray the shifting realities facing modern man. The song posits that in the myriad of uncertainties, the polarization of ideas and the morphing of cultures, understanding can only come through acquiescence before the great tide of things.

Memoirs From The Afterlife was produced by Laura Marling drummer Matt Ingram and was one of the last tracks to be mixed at Ray Davies´s famed Konk Studios (by Richard Wilkinson (Adele/Kaiser Chiefs)).
