about

The title of this album comes from an insomniatic routine I found myself in during the summer of 2020. I would get out of bed at 4:30am and wander around Brooklyn until the sun came up, often taking pictures of the buildings as they became enveloped with the first light of day. There was something about the stillness of the city that attracted me; the air, the sounds of the birds, the way my perception of time moved; everything was perceivably different between the hours of 4:00am and 7:30am. But, since the human body isn’t made to operate in such a manner, this routine didn’t last very long. This album is an exploration of restless confusion, identity, liminal spaces, literature, and human relationships in an increasingly distanced digital age.
