This album explores the concept of death, questioning it's significance and purpose. Lyrically, it is extremely personal as it deals with some of my own personal experiences. This is the first time that we have taken such an approach. As a result, I think it's delivery was far more intense than for previous recordings. This was particular the case for the vocal takes where, rather than recording to capture the 'perfect' take, we took time before recording to get into the right lyrical head space and then record one entirely honest vocal take. I think that the emotion is quickly lost when recording something over and over. During recording I find that tt can be very difficult trying to stay engaged with the intent of the music, especially considering how unnatural it a process recording is.
Much inspiration was drawn from the work of Emily Dickinson, whom in my opinion described death in way like no other before.  Musically, we have incorporated a range of new elements and also began utilising our own instruments made from bone, glass, wood and other items. We also utilised a number of field recordings, captured at various times and locations throughout this year.
