The anchor of this mix is a recollection of a moment from sometime in September 2017. I'd left my job and begun traveling abroad for several weeks. Almost a full month into my trip, I was visiting some friends in Australia, in Far North Queensland. We spent four or so days walking around a cute little resort town tucked between the beach and sprawling mountains covered in deep jungle. 

One morning during my stay I crept out of the house early and walked by myself along the beach and out to the end of a long pier extending eastward over the Pacific. As I stood and looked out at some islands balanced delicately on the horizon, and then back towards the dark green slopes jutting upwards behind the facade of the town, I was overcome with the idea that this was just about as far as I could possibly be from where I grew up in Michigan. I have long fixated on the feeling of being "far from home;" even now as I approach five years living in LA I still often find myself pausing to soak in the fact that I'm really *all the way over here* as if I need to bottle up the sensation to make sure I don't forget it. 

But here it was in full force, that feeling totally distilled and concentrated in a way that could never again be matched, leaving me rapt in silence as sunburnt Ozzies milled around me. It felt triumphant but not final, as though I had completed a journey outwards and could now work out my path back, rediscovering what I'd skipped or discarded along the way. 

This selection of tracks is meant to start from that specific moment and then unfurl itself towards the more general "far from home" idea, the little tingle that you get when you've left your usual corner of reality and are facing unknowns with eager eyes; full of euphoria yet grounded, reminded of all that it took to get to this point.
