about

“Treading Water”, their second album of 8 tracks, each track takes on various aspects that deal with the solitude of modern day society, positive thinking and the idea of letting go. “I want this album to be more personal and connect directly with the listener, as if we were face to face with nothing but our words to guide us”. The album kicks off with “Care” a song that embodies pain and awareness, describing time as a missile that strikes and leaves you surrounded by the anguish of distant memories and past shadows while holding on to a glimpse of hope. The song uses synths with a varied pitch, wavey guitars and a consistent drum beat that keeps you floating and falling, a sonic fever dream of conscious thought. Unlike “Lookin’ Up” which on the other hand tries to elevate the listener with positivity, “Things are gonna look up” as in things will get better “For me, for you, for us”. This shows the contrasting state of mind that “Treading Water” tries to portray. “A Break” for example is a twisted love song written from the perspective of separation, coming to terms with acceptance and contempt towards a person you once loved. The album mixes many influences from R&b, Neo soul, Jazz and a hint of rock. “An emotional whirlwind waiting to blow you away”.
