Absentee is the third solo album from Southend-on-Sea singer-songwriter Alfie Firmin, marking his debut release with Bobo Integral in 2023. Drawing on a 70s-inspired blend of rock and pop, Alfie crafts intimate, melodic songs that capture a poignant and reflective mood, shaped by his real-life experiences of displacement and change during the global pandemic.
This album stands out for its rich, autumnal soundscapes, weaving subtle instrumental textures with heartfelt lyrics across ten original tracks. From McCartney-esque piano ballads to horn-laden folk-rock, Absentee finds Alfie at his most accomplished, culminating in the harmonious and timeless closing love song, "For the First Time."
