about

All the songs on the EP were written during or inspired by the lockdown period. My home in Wigtown is also home to hundreds of geese for a few months before they continue their migration north. Safe Home and Batten Down are inspired by those birds. Wilderness started with the sadness of the swallow leaving at the end of the summer but turned into much more of a Climate despair song. Too Much Time imagines one being completely alone with no demands but feeling like that much time might be dangerous for the mind!
I took the songs to Nicholas (Niko) O'Brien and Hannah (Jakes) Jacobs and they brought their creativity and production to turn them into this more synth-indie-folk-pop vibe!

Salty Water is a song I wrote a while ago about a murder that happened near a place that I used to live. I sent a new version of the song to Niko and Jakes and they remixed it and made it into a electro-dance track. I then sent this to Marry Waterson who made this amazing video for it.

this album has been the soundtrack to my last five months. my favorite track varies from day to day and mood to mood, but moths in the gaslight is always near the top. there's something very lived in about the world that boden paints with this one, and the thread of yearning that trails throughout brings this open sort of tenderness to an otherwise burning world, which just feels endlessly, beautifully human. sophie
