about

“Music is all about space, with the gaps between notes being just as important, if not more than the notes themselves and also how these sounds fill a physical space. The tracks I’ve written and recorded have been a response to the space I’ve been in. Not experiencing music in a live or club setting has meant I’ve mainly listened to music at home or in headphones. I wanted to create something that felt like a comfortable armchair for the listener and communicate words and melodies that become ingrained in their memories.”

“I was alone on my birthday, at the height of lockdown so I wrote and recorded ‘Forgotten What You Look Like’ on that day. I’d started with the drums in the morning, recorded the vocals in the afternoon and had done the final mix by the evening. Now I generally try and finish tracks within 24 hours. I didn’t feel lonely or sad on my own but it made me reflect on birthdays of the past and the people you may never see again. I wanted to capture that feeling of someone fading in your memory."

lyrics

Living in a cubist world
Of multiple surface
Too busy convincing people
You're always on your best
It's just scorpio season
And I can feel the sting
We're not such social creatures
We'll never see each other again

It's been such a long time
I've forgotten what you look like
It's been such a long time
I've forgotten what you look like

Two minutes is like a wormhole
T-i-m-e S-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g
Acquaintances live in an alternate dimension
The universe is a hologram
I've been indoors for so long
Forgot the taste of fresh air
I'll never breathe it ever again

It's been such a long time
I've forgotten what you look like
It's been such a long time
I've forgotten what you look like
It's been such a long time
I've forgotten what you look like
It's been such a long time
I've forgotten what you look like
