Q: “Static” was and still is my favourite track. Splendid lyrics and music, food for the brain! What was your main source of inspiration for the upcoming album?
Thank you so much for your kind words, It’s really one of my favourite songs and it can be really consuming performing that on stage at times, especially dependent on what is going on in our lives each time, as it can get us wrapped up in its energy. The sparkle for the upcoming album came while travelling from a country to another to sound-check and get ready for that night. You know when you’re eager to get somewhere and the perception of time stretches, giving you the impression that the way to your destination is endless while getting back is incredibly faster. An idea along the lines ‘almost there isn’t close enough’ came to me and it all started building around it, along with some ideas that were shaped from previous conversations I had with friends on how people nowadays choose to live in unstable fantasies / possibilities for their future instead of designing and living the present and live for the moment, something that is easily taken amiss by impulsive, capricious sad people that seek for affirmation for their overlooked degradation in everything, art included!
