Two decades of records. Major label exit in 2006. Everything since has been made on his own terms — most recently a self-produced oratorio.

Tragic Daydreams.
The debut. A vaudevillian fantasy world rendered in widescreen — mannequins, bones, matrons, apparitions that flicker in and out. Co-produced with Chris Vrenna (Nine Inch Nails) with mixing predominantly handled by Tony Espie at Sing Sing Studios; lead single “Stab” mastered at The Exchange, London. Three ARIA-charting singles. International touring followed.
The break point. First release on his own imprint after walking from the major label — the moment the catalogue stopped being a Warner project and started being his. Carries a Van She remix that took home a Billboard Song Contest Honourable Mention, plus a cover of The Psychedelic Furs that lives comfortably alongside the original material.

A 2009 single that travelled further than anyone planned. Gary Numan and his long-time collaborator Ade Fenton remixed it, and Numan returned the original with a public statement praising the songwriting — a quiet validation from one of the artists whose lineage MK has always worked inside. The single picked up international rotation off the back of it.

The return after almost a decade away. Recorded in Collingwood with producer Woody Annison (Red Door Sounds) and drummer Ryan Caesar (Pearls). Leaner, darker and more committed than anything that came before it — the sound of an artist who has stopped negotiating with the room.
The shelved LA sessions, retrieved after a decade. Originally tracked with Joey Waronker (Beck, REM, Atoms for Peace) on drums, Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Nine Inch Nails, M83) on bass and Roger Manning Jr. (Jellyfish, Beck, Air) on Moog — then quietly archived. Ten years later, MK opened the boxes and built the album that should have followed Tragic Daydreams. The deluxe adds three live cuts from Service City, Sydney plus seven demos and alternate mixes.

Runestones & Keymasters.
Two Key Masters must fulfil a prophecy by uniting to unlock the miracle of Universal Harmony, defeating an ancient enemy named Silence. Mysticism and folklore against vintage rock tones and orchestral arrangement. Written, produced, arranged, recorded and mastered entirely by MK.
