Victoria indie musician Aidan Knight is trying to raise some funds for a new tour van. To help reach his goal he has created a new ep called Telecommunicate and an exclusive poster.
The story is interesting, from his website Aidan talks about his inspiration.
Telecommunicate is a new 4 song EP based on the true story of Robin Van Helsum. Nicknamed “Forest Boy” by international media, Van Helsum was a troubled runaway who convinced the world that he lived alone in the woods for 5 years. Just as quickly as his hoax was uncovered, Robin fled the authorities again. The father of a young child, estranged from his ailing father, and working for a telecommunications company – Forest Boy’s story is as nuanced and compelling as it is mystifying.
The entire proceeds of this EP (written, performed and recorded in 7 days) are destined for a new tour vehicle for Aidan Knight and company. Hence, yknow, the van.
Pre-order Telecommunicate via Bandcamp.

The actual story is just as crazy.
