Seit ich diese Live-Performance des letztem Albums, Autofiction, von Far Caspian gepostet hatte, war ich wieder soooo drin und habe in den letzten Monaten kaum was anderes gehört. Dass er dieses Jahr doch noch neue Musik rausbringt und gerade jetzt auch in diese Frühlingszeit, das fühle ich einfach total. Unterschreibe jedes Wort.

I hadn’t attempted to write anything new since ‘Autofiction’ and was trying to gain some new life experiences before doing so. I wasn’t quite ready to start the next album but knew I wanted to put out some singles this year. I was thinking about if I released a song in May, what would it sound like and within 20 minutes or so I had ‘turn’. Spring time represents rebirth for me and I was imagining the cycle of the seasons and how through our lives we gain and lose friends, experiences and what that means to be a human. Carrying these experiences through life and shaping us and our identities. Spring is a great time to shake off some baggage and enjoy what we have and look forward to brighter days.

The day I was finishing the mix on ‘turn’ I took a quick coffee break and picked up the acoustic guitar in my studio. I wrote ‘hum’ pretty much instantaneously and decided to record it really rough and put it out as a b-side. I very rarely write a whole song just on my acoustic so it was quite an exciting feeling to start recording with a full song ready. I went through an experience recently that made me take stock of some things in my life and this was the most direct response to that.
