Maaike I love these tracks - the sound of the layered vocals, the unconventional production, the meaning behind the songs - beautiful and different! Favorite track: Further to Our Letter of the Fourth.

LYRICS Into the unknown Once we sailed in golden sun Now against the wind   Landmarks receding Roll away your maps and charts We must make them new Once-precious cargo Suddenly a burden seems Throw it overboard Hear tales of sirens Giant's footfall shakes the earth Still we must go on Gone not to conquer Instead with gentle step We will touch new shores

about

A simple, percussive backing made from items found in my kitchen. Feelings of unease about what may lie ahead for all of us, ending with a note of hope for the world we rebuild after the waves have receded. 

"the blended layers of vocals on the lower register feel like they're pulling you down below the surface of some inky waters in one moment before the lead vocal soars away in the next, carrying you along with it.. ...it feels like being lost, but somewhere I belong." - Fenris Music

-----

B-side Further to Our Letter of the Fourth is a song about bureaucratic letters, which deliver news of potentially devastating impact to the reader with the cold tone of indifference and a smokescreen of formality.

"Dressed in the language of officialdom, it is a call for empathy and kindness." - Bakeneko
