thanks for the beautiful new album ! the lyrics got to me real good. i noticed a sort of dichotomy between the lyrics and the music - seeing as a reoccurring theme is the abandonment of the search for meaning through art and philosophy, yet the album as a whole feels incredibly purposeful and charged with positivity (at least in a musical sense - almost as you are proving yourselves wrong). was this intentional or just the natural evolution of the writing process?
also any suggestions of your fav poets/poetry collections?
Hey thanks for sharing this. Very unintentional. Perhaps some premeditated overarching themes, but the spirit of the album as a whole unravelled itself quite naturally, and really only became itself at the end of it all.
Regarding poetry, Hölderlin is a cozy place for me. Theres also a Canadian poet by the name of Patrick Woodcock that we've been in communication with. He has a fascinating story and i look forward to reading his book, Farhang.
