A record formed through the crevices and cracks of self doubt and self pity.

This release highlights technical, physical and emotional growth. A mangled, heartbroken concoction of shoegaze soundscapes and hurt feelings. Each clipping snare hit and out of tune guitar lead telling a story of an adolescent clawing their way through depression, love, drugs and melancholic regret, whilst being complimented by deafening drums, noise and dejected poetry.

It was constructed over the span of 5 years, each session taking place alone in different bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens, fueling the claustrophobic themes of loneliness and isolation.
