statement on they will need no lamp or light or sun:
I kept wondering what it would feel like to write an entire album of music that, simply put, I enjoyed. Nothing that professed trauma, nothing triggering. I wanted to make music that I could personally zone out to. I wanted to make music that makes *me* unclench my jaw, lower my shoulders, take a deep breath, sink into seats or my bed. I wanted to craft a record of euphoria - a collective of comfortable, calming and blissful soundscapes. This is very much a love letter to the nights I spent listening to Aphex Twin, Midwife and Grouper to sleep. This is a love letter of perseverance. This is a love letter to healing. This is a love letter to myself, from myself.
