I am continuing to break my WIP releases down to form the most consistently high quality collection possible. Themes and concepts are becoming more vague, but I’m enjoying listening to this selection of tracks more each time I work on it. It may be best to ignore past ideas of putting tracks into different boxes, as that seems to end up with me spreading myself too thin – by putting all of the pieces in one box, I can guarantee to get the best quality album out there. It’s also nice not being tied to a definite concept – I’m beginning to appreciate that freedom I felt when I was recording Safernoc. Both that and Leaf Pass are very varied in style and mood, are two of my best records, and came together without excessive over-conceptualising. That’s important to remember.
