Writing Into The Ether began literally the week after we released our debut album, Dream in Colour, when instead of touring the record we were forced to descend to our make shift bedroom studio set ups as a result of the pandemic. It was during those months our longing to be out on the road with the band playing live shows developed into a dreamlike state, conjuring up imagery of us and the band travelling through the desert on a journey to find whatever it was that we were craving. This imagery of expansive desert landscapes was hugely inspired by films directed by the likes of Sergio Leonne, and the grand thematic scores of composers such as Ennio Moriconne. We’ve tried to create our own little funk fuelled version of that expansiveness and longing, using a large string ensemble, group vocals and layered synths and guitars to create western style motifs, and galloping guitars to emulate riding through the desert on horse back. We hope you find a place to escape to when listening through this record, as we did whilst writing it.
