A Room Within A Room

“This album is the manifestation of a desire to make something real, in a world and artistic landscape that increasingly favours convenience over craft. My producer and I wanted each player to leave their mark on the album, to hear everyone’s personality in their performance; hear the room we recorded in, and the evidence of life within it. I miss hearing that stuff in recordings. This is the antithesis of that hyper-clean, optimised sound that is so abundant now. It’s almost optimisation in the opposite direction, making it clear that some people made this music together in a room somewhere. A Room Within A Room is about the local atmospheres we own that hang around us. It’s about the private rooms within us, the expansiveness of our experience, the force of our inner worlds and imaginations. It’s also about the importance of process, and overall, the significance of human creation.”
