...I like to have a melody to move through. The best souvenirs I’ve brought home are stones. I love to travel light – I only ever take a carry-on – but I always bring back stones....
...There’s a political pulse and a dedication to human resilience beneath the dreamy surface melodies. Invisible Forces is a meditation on mortality and progressing beyond trauma....
