About

Thirteen tracks recorded in Scotland from 2013 to 2016, it was started in Glasgow but finished in the countryside where Jonathan added guitar to most of the songs. The cover is a Polaroid taken by Will as a teenager, it is a hinged swing window laid flat at sunset with a few strands of grass pretending to be palm trees. Despite the exotic effect, it is on an urban housing estate in North-East England. This album was possibly going to be the Esgazette opt out forever but in fact there was no break in musical production. It coincided with a time when the public were being opted into many things and onto corporate databases without permission and terms such as ‘data slurping’ came into use.
