Discovered this on Yotto's Winter Mix 2017 and nearly came to tears the first two times ... striking ... just wow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I suppose the ultimate crux is that I came to terms with growing past and through a place of comfort.
 
Hoop Earring is a fantasy, one about spiritual enlightenment and realization. I think about Hoop Earring as a filter with which to look through - Hoop Earring is an island. A lot changed from when I initially started writing these songs and it all feels like it happened while I was in a faraway place. Hoop Earring is like ​The Younger Dryas of my ​emotional ​life.
 
In Janet Murray's, "Hamlet on the Holodek", she explains that fiction is a way to deal with everyday problems by making us be involved enough to care but detached enough to be able to retreat if the suffering is too much. I relate this to Hoop Earring in that it became somewhat of a coping mechanism.
 
I don't have much else to say, other than that I'm proud of the album and that I'm happy to share it.
 
Thanks y'all,
@sagecaswell

Lyrics:
Who are you Must be brother Rooted by you Like no other Oh this story This story must be jaded Oh it's jaded ah ah....

Who are you Must be sister Rooted by you Like no other Oh this story Oh this story must be gone

Intertwined by things we'll never see, never feel, never know, never we try
You can try to think about the ones that think about you

Well I know,
But I say,
Please don't go,
But you can't stay

I've got no choice
But to leave
I've got no voice
Nor eyes to see

Working for the
Working for the queen
We control the
Sugar to the Queen

Lost in these thoughts that you'll never know, never hear, never ask, never you'll care
You can try to put yourself behind the eyes of others

Well I know,
But I say,
Please don't go,
But you can't stay

I've got no choice
But to leave
I've got no voice
Nor eyes to see

Working for the
Working for the queen
We control the
Sugar to the Queen

Under the Botany moniker, Spencer Stephenson creates rich psychological and emotional experiences through audio. When he started creating his own music at age 15, he was enamored with Four Tet, Stars of the Lid, Madlib, and Dilla.  In his late teens, he went through a heavy period of discovery with Psychedelic rock, Krautrock, and Brit-folk. "I started imitating a lot of those forms in my own music, sampling them sometimes, recording from scratch sometimes, but really just trying to bridge a gap between those worlds and sample-based hip hop, and I’m still trying."

On his latest effort Dimming Awe, the Light is Raw, the 27-year-old producer and composer continues dissolving the borders between his disparate-yet-beloved psych, hip hop, and ambient influences.  Unlike his debut LP Lava Diviner, which peaked and valley-ed through a narrative arc, Dimming Awe focuses on the artist's ever-unfolding, present state of mind.  As a former jazz student, spiritual/free jazz philosophy regarding what he calls “emergent” music has increasingly become a guiding light when he creates.  "The more emergent I let my music be when I'm making it, the more I like the result, it feels like a truer reflection.  I feel like I am getting closer to doing that with computer-made music," he says.  "This album is a document of what I do, not a statement in any explicit way. I feel like I'm moving closer to a jazz underpinning that I've always felt, philosophically more than aesthetically…making music feels more like exhaling as I grow older.”
