about

i recorded most of this album while living with someone after a breakup and i tried to capture it in these songs all the while losing my mind. i wanted this record to sound sad but also pretty and hopeful.

instead of trying to work against the frequencies, i let them speak for themselves. it’s a musical fever dream.

this is the sound of walking alone at night in the dead of winter, looking out an airplane window into the clouds, the sound of falling in love and the sound of falling out of it. this is the sound of moving on. this is how i feel in audio form and i hope you all enjoy this. things get better if you let them.
