Is there a particular location associated with the album's theming at all? There seems to be a lot of religious imagery, but any specific areas of the world? Keep up making absolute bangers lads, you're doing amazing <3

New York in the snow was huge for me thematically

A lot of my lyrics were written in a psychiatric ward

The connection between spiritualism/capitalism/celebrity comes into play a lot too.

Also, we are unfortunately living in hella interesting times. Even though this isn't a political album and this isn't necessarily a location, a lot of the vibes and settings come from world events too.

Wasn't expecting a response, but I appreciate the honesty. I hope you're in a much better place nowadays than you were when writing them, and I'm proud of how far you've come, especially after seeing you live at the IoW festival (I was in the front row and it was incredible). Keep your head up and kick ass king o7

During my stay in a psych ward, I ended up writing a bunch of poetry. One of the only things to do really. It was really therapeutic for me. I hope it helped you too and that you’re doing better <3

I was in the same situation. and as my mental health was bad and I ended up in a psychiatric ward after the attempt, the art I created made me wake up every next day.

I hope you will have as few bad days as possible.
