Just before the lockdown last year, I was up north, walking in a forest, when I saw what I thought was fur scattered in the snow; it turned out to be seeds from the nearby bulrushes. With the world seemingly on the verge of chaos, I was wondering what I had to say that was relevant. From this humble state of mind, I started writing songs that touched on themes of love, the passing of time and moments of darkness. Initially, I wanted a stripped-down, intimate sound focused on guitar and voice. But over time I started recording with more instrumentation, including vintage keyboards and drums, for many of the songs. The album was later mixed and mastered by Andy Magoffin.
