Release Notes:
--------------
The album came into being as an interest in the relations between art and mental
illness. Focusing on texture and tactility, I wanted to put into music how it
feels to be a person living with a mental illness.
I wanted to give mental illness a place in art focusing on everyday life, on
texture and tactility. To touch and be touched. To get in touch, to lose touch
and be out of touch. To feel something rough or smooth, soft or hard.
Lyrically, the album centres on different situations throughout everyday life
like that of letting your hand slip through the grass, looking at an object
break, following how the seasons change and how it feels to be alienated from
yourself and your surroundings.
Sonically, the album dives into different sounds and how they sound. Trying to
create room for the sounds to unfold and merge into each other creating new
sounds. Throughout the album sounds of water, strings, piano and vocals are
weaved together changing meaning in relation.
