about

I hope people find beauty amongst the textures and moods. We try and remain true to DIY and punk aesthetics. I hope we are always growing and pushing boundaries. I hope the audience can grow with us.

The themes seem to emerge only on reflection. I wasn’t aware of them during the process. Believing in one’s self is a main theme. Changing your reference point to change your world is a main theme. Combating addiction, depression, and false idols are further themes. Psychedelic themes are there. I don’t know what they all mean. Maybe the audience will piece it together for us.
