Psych pop/rock that is as wistful as it is warm. Music and words that incorporate desperation and transform it into empathy and acceptance. Into the will to embrace change and explore its many - often scary - ways. A glowing black hole.
Favorite track: Good Dreams.
AS THE TOWER FELL
To deal with the darkness within and to strive for peace and harmony is a reason to make music. It leads to sacrifices that are painful yet important. Through changes we grow but it hurts. When someone suddenly disappears, someone who had a major impact on your life, the change and the pain becomes crystal clear. Suddenly you find yourself trying to hold on to what held you back. But the tower will fall and you have to deal with a new perspective. What the sorrow wants is to be taken care of and you are alone in your grief. Thoughts about life occur when death stand at your doorstep and the thoughts become melodies and songs. This record is based on sorrow.
