This album became a way for me to write things, feel things, [and] process things [...] [b]ecause, as the producer, I just had to sit with these songs for so long. It became really healing in a sense of, 'I made this. I'm listening to an album that I genuinely love. All the sounds and bits and bobs came from me with the help of just an engineer.' It was transformative. So, it started out as, 'I quit,' and it has ended up as a fresh start.
