Probably my deepest track yet titled ‘Polarity’ released as part of Inguma Records 5 Years VA. Available on limited cassette + digital on bandcamp + t-shirt merch.

It reflects heavily on today’s scenarios, polarising views, polarising emotions, uncertain futures, but there is a hint of hope still flickering in the darkness. Like the moment when light appears from behind a storm cloud.

I love the artwork for this, it reminds me to lean into the things that give us hope or keep us together. Even when there is a lot of evil.
