Take this journey with me 🖤

“This album is a concept I’ve been mulling over and over in my head ever since I started making music. To tell a larger story, to bring the listener on the adventure. Narrate it with a combination of story + lyrics and bring it to life with visuals I’ve taken over the years of venturing deep into the backcountry.

It’s a pure expression of everything I love — metal, punk, emo and hip hop combined into a modern bass music package, visually stunning moments from diverse terrain, haunting fantasy + emotional gravity that just sucks you in — and then woven together into a full-length visual.

Everything about this album was crafted with each other aspect in mind, story influencing music, music influencing visual, visual influencing story — I think that’s what makes this record special. The journey isn’t an afterthought, it’s at the core of the whole thing. I wanted to make something thoughtful, timeless; something that lights a fire in your soul.”

01 // Letting Go

"So I wrote this song maybe 12 weeks after the worst mountain bike crash of my life— breaking my femur, collar bone (clean in half), 7 ribs and a punctured lung was the cherry on top. 2 surgeries and a solid hospital stay later I was back home, learning to walk again and trying to regain some sense of normalcy. I started out writing this track simply to fit a piece of the story for the album, but the more I wrote the more I realized I was writing about myself. Before the crash we were already in a pretty terrible situation financially (post-covid), barely making it work, then basically everything in our life started falling in on top of us. I just had this incredible guilt and pain emotionally — some days more than physically. We were struggling and it was largely my fault. I think you can hear the pain & catharsis in the song, trying to sort out the acceptance piece of the whole situation. Writing it there were these moments that were so visceral— I just couldn’t ignore the strength of the emotion in it. Ultimately I think the realness that came out of it both enhanced the story and made for a better record."
