Influences
Sounds Like
It sounds like a Rilke poem mashed up with the spirit of Pessoa.
Its sounds like the collision of a desire and a loss.
It's the thought of travel.
The fragmentation of a name.
The water lapping in the ports of London and Lisbon.
The sound of apples falling from the trees onto the ground.
Onto the baking red earth of the Alentejo
Onto the dank brown orchards of Kent.
We love Schubert, Scott Walker and Phil Spector. And a lot of other things!
We remember the era of electro pop (when was that) and the Mahlerian orchestral song cycle.
It's the sound of the splinter sloooowed dooooown sooooo slooooooow it starts to breath.
