‘And So To Sleep’ is a slow-burning, richly-textured song exploring the alternating states of anguish and self-soothing following a painful loss: “The pull of your empty sorrow, it was vacuous, it was gravity to me / The chasm between our bodies, it was ravenous, ..majesty”

The second track, ‘There Is No Sound’, is an introspective, urban-celtic dance track confronting the push-pull struggle of relationships: “There were night skies, and cinema screens / Smokescreen lovers fake as fake white plasticine skin on skin / My love, I have only just awoken.”
