Illusions 03:28
Sweet sand under linen and skin Waves of death over life within Salty, brows and lips Ocean black, calling my name Don’t leave, me alone Break the tide and take me home My eyes, stinging green Illusions, I had seen Wings in sky, bellowing down Toes on edge, temptation Memories in lightning strikes Gone faces, into the night Don’t leave, me alone Break the tide, and take me home My eyes, stinging green Illusions, I had seen

Isolating 04:56
You were beaten down to earth Tired of battling the wind I couldn’t recognise your face You had been drinking three days straight Where are you Where are you Where are you Are you I was pregnant with your dreams Tired of battling the wind You couldn’t look me in the eyes I had been soaking in your lies Where are you Where are you Where are you Are you Where are you Where are you Where are you Are you Where are you Where are you Where are you, you, you, you Where are you Where are you Where are you, you, you, you

about

'Illusions' is a bass and synth-driven psychedelic fugue; a single voice hangs in the air, calling out through an interleaved bass and organ, haunted. Inspired by Tarkovsky’s Solaris, the lyrics evoke the image of an ocean that can manifest people’s memories as hallucinations. The song explores a gap between fiction and reality within which the subject perdures, haunted by the whistling hallucinations and whirling visualisations manifested by the still, silent, omniscient ocean.

'Isolating' explores a decaying relationship caused by a disintegrating individual who isolates themself from reality and the people who love them. Evoking themes of abuse and trauma, Isolating began life as a sketch featuring a simple bass line and Covid-ravaged vocal cords. It evolved into a fuzzing '90s grunge wail, climaxing in a harrowing plea: an increasingly anxious call through a wall of impenetrable isolation.
