about

A concept album about emotional displacement

These liner memories deteriorate, resembling a poorly managed filing cabinet rediscovered in the basement of abandoned time. The engagement of reassembling stories.

Collected through flickering reinterpretations, which wears down the sharp edges of rocks over time, like a constant river flow. Her face when the mechanism clicked. Inspecting the treasure with a thoughtful wonder.

A large blue case inherited from my parents remained ignored until recently & amongst its contents. Lyn's Sorrento music box unused for 42 years. The sound of the key when the spring engaged.

When somebody is lost during childhood, they revisit you in later life.

Download contains bonus 'demo' track recorded a decade ago. A collection of Polaroid photos & the video February 1980, she closed her eyes.
