Our debut album 'Affirmations' is a collection of songs about turning inwards when this fresh hell becomes too much. Why not fixate on some petty anxiety instead? You'll probably f eel better?" It's easy to look at the horrors unfolding around the world right now and just switch off, give in to your own powerlessness and say 'fuck it, it's all fucked anyway'. The culture and attention economy that suckles it almost seems to demand this from us. That feeling must be spat out and rejected. Lurching from one panic attack to the next, our album ultimately seeks a rejection of navel-gazing nihilism - by recognising how easy it is to slip into, then pointing at it and laughing; whether that's trying to escape the indignity of other human bodies on a crowded Dublin bus by glueing your eyes to a phone, or a stream-of-consciousness existential breakdown about finding Bob Dylan on an episode of Pawn Stars. Go climb a tree, scream into a pillow, and tell your friends you love them. Oh, and buy our record. Buy it twice? Show more
