First, I thought of these tracks as the soundtrack to an unknown movie but it eventually turned into a mourning album. Each track is like a letter that was never sent, picturing frozen moments in time. I've been yearning for something sonically soothing and this is the closest to what I'd like to hear. Now it's yours, walking along your journey as an imaginary companion.
