Greg Fleming’s Forget the Past follows up 2010’s critically acclaimed Taken, and 2012’s Edge of the City.

Produced by in‐demand Auckland musician/producer Wayne Bell (Gin Wigmore, The Bads, Andrew Keoghan)Forget the Past pairs Greg’s strongest set of songs yet with a new musical and sonic palette – from the Pacific pop of There She Goes, through the noir rock of Cities in the Distance to the minimalist soul grooves of Nobody.

The 11 tracks span locales and subjects as far afield as New Mexico, jaywalking, the working poor, and surviving summers in the city.

“I love pop songs,” says Greg, “and this time out I think I managed to write a couple. We worked hard on getting hooks in wherever we could, guitar parts, backing vocals, beats – and it worked, these songs get in there. It’s also the most outward looking record song writing wise I demanded more of melodies and trusted the lyrics to take care of themselves.”

"I wanted to make a record I’d want to listen to. One that was fun and also heart‐breaking, a record that dealt with real issues but never forgot about the joy of life. Listening to Wayne stack the Beach Boys‐like harmonies on Summer in the City and The Good was one of the high‐points of our time in the studio.”
