    From 2008 we have collectively been in an ever changing build up to where we are now. These songs span the beginning of these changes. By 2015 it was possible for us to marry and by 2019 we were ready to mark the songs written through that time and embark on our professional artist Sound journey.


    Come with us on that journey as we move ever swiftly to aquarius.

    Raw, and exquisitely personal and yet marking the collective experience for many this album marks the impact of the changes so many of us were going through.
