about

So the story is, I'd go out surfing with my sisters and brother and sometimes I'm out of my depths with trying to keep up in big surf and am driven by a fear of getting left behind which causes panic in putting myself in situations that are compromising for myself, family and others. Can't tell you how many times I've panicked out in the surf when I'm caught in the impact zone or the surf gets really big and I peak. Same on land when I've taken way to much on and can't do it all and the panic sets in about deadlines, expectations, judgments, decisions, keeping up. The source of it all is mental health, and usually, I'll experience depression, anxiety, and panic attacks and it's crippling like getting caught in a huge swell and 'Fighting for Air'.

We've gone with the 'less is more' approach to lyrics and vocals and instrumentation in 'Fighting for Air' and it shows the bands dynamic. We absolutely loved working with Dan Carroll at Rada Studio, he created the coastal soundscape in the production and it really lifts the scene of the song. We were still reworking it in the studio when we recorded it as far as composition and totally loved watching it come together in the safe space and hands of my bandmates. Alex Megaw (drums) and Michael Savage (bass) creating the sandbank with toms and tribal-esk rhythm and bass. Belle Harvey sat with me to rework lyrics to 'cut the fat' and we put down the strong guitar picking and harmonies in which support the telling of the story. Ths song also features James Roger's twangy hooky guitar lines which I love. Mixed by master crafter King Willy. Finishing touches in artwork design by Redroom Design sourcing imagery that packages it all together.
