“Initially, I wrote this all on guitar and a GarageBand drum beat in 2022 or 2023, none of which made it into the final version. I came home from a night with a guy during which I had a pretty unpleasant memory pop up and wig me out during what was supposed to be a fun time. It unlocked a lot of unpleasant memories/anger during what was supposed to be a sexy, fun time, and I wanted to turn it into a celebration of catharsis.”

“The verses are personal , cutthroat and literal. I talk about […] people stuck in the past and the frustration of not being able to choose the cards we get dealt with in life and not knowing whether things are going right or wrong, I’m getting better or worse. ‘am i coming or going cos i can’t tell.’”

“We felt it didn’t have enough grit — until now. We’re super proud of what the track has become; it sounds massive.”

“[…] when all you have is a tiny breadcrumb from someone, but you hold onto it, hoping it might one day turn into something bigger.”

“It follows my journey to where I am now—speaking on the abuse, standing in my truth, and calling on others to stand up for one another and themselves.”

“I’ve played some of these songs live and it feels like a balm. I’ve loved hearing how they’ve helped people remember, feel and be seen.”

“‘It’s Not That Funny’ relates to trying to convince your therapist you’re funny and that anything that’s happened to you wasn’t all that bad.”

“I think the song, even though it stemmed from a sad time, is a reminder and dedication to anyone who’s ever felt lonely (all of us) and a reminder that we never are alone. Community is everything.”

“It’s about not being ready to feel my feelings. Like life is happening on the other side of a heavy curtain — like each day is a drill for the real thing.”

“This song is about finding strength and safety in your own body. Haters will hate, but we keep going.”

“We turned this small acoustic song upside down into this powerful statement. It’s about not being heard as a woman — being called ‘too much’ or ‘too loud’, and learning to stop shrinking yourself.”

“When you start to feel love again after being so hurt for so long, ahh! It feels so good but…it’s vulnerable and scary. The anxious/avoidant attachment cycle is being tested and put to work again.”

“[Local Girl, Always Tired] is about that feeling: being stuck in a small town that doesn’t align with who you are, dreaming of a bigger life, aching to escape.”

“‘Heavy, Why?’ is lyrically light and instrumentally heavy—a cryptic reflection on disembodiment, asking simply: why is it so agonizing to be turned away from the self?”

“‘Harta’ means ‘fed up’. It’s about leaving behind the noise and reclaiming your power — because walking away isn’t giving up, it’s freedom.”

“It’s a nod to the mystery of where we come from and who we are. I wanted the record to start with the first breath of darkness into morning light… the old world into the new.”

“This EP feels like everything I felt all at once — the adrenaline, guilt, and loneliness that come with change. I’m really proud of it. This has been the most exciting and rewarding year of my life so far.”

“Honey, I’m Home is just my raw feelings — unfiltered. Some songs are so honest I thought, ‘this can never come out’. If you’ve dated me or hurt me, there’s probably a track about you. These are my secrets.”

“I’m a child again, riding in the back of a car. A hole in the roadside beckons me to enter. I slip away like condensation into a pastel world where dolphins swim through turquoise streams and fruit trees twist in bonsai proportions. Then I realize I’ve been left behind.”

“The song came from that feeling of trying to connect with someone who was always just out of reach. Mike and I even layered in the sound of a New Zealand busy tone as a kind of sonic metaphor. It’s funny and devastating at the same time.”
