about

This record was created as a way of expressing the issues I [Ru] tackled during a critical stage of my therapy, chronologically documenting the most painful moments of my life from childhood through to adulthood ranging from the loss of a father figure to prolonged bullying and drug abuse. The extended scope makes full use of the bands creative and instrumental potential, pushing them further than before to create a piece of work intended to help listeners find comfort in the trauma they have experienced.

We felt the best way to immerse ourselves in the truth behind the process was to see each other at our most vulnerable. With this in mind, we discussed our individual experiences with the themes in each song, and took backing vocals on the track which resonated with us the most. This resulted in three very different approaches to singing that accompanied the tracks in a way that mirrored our own experiences with them. With the EP being one continuous piece of music, it provided a uniquely difficult experience that only added to our sense of accomplishment. It’s easily the hardest recording we’ve ever done, but equally it’s our best. There’s nothing quite like nailing a 26 minute take.
