Artist Statement
“I’m endlessly fascinated by how each person has a concept of ourselves, and the ways in which those ideas both reflect and differ from our relationships with people close to us; and what those connections can teach us about what’s going on in the zeitgeist. In other words, the way people affect their world and, in turn, how the world influences them.
“I suppose, more specifically, this collection of songs is about searching for a better way of being, and finding a path out of troubled times. From rejecting unhealthy relationships, turning to your community to get yourself out of a dark hole, imagining better worlds than what is currently on offer by capitalism, finding warmth in all its forms, to simply seeking help.” -Augustus Watkins
