about

Me and Oscar actually ended up finishing this together, sitting on a roof in Mexico of an Airbnb we’d rented in Puerto Escondido on the Oaxacan Coast. We sat there on my laptop and went through all the takes we had from London and made this as the sun set, between the palms and the sea in front of us, Orange all around us. I love the end section where the tracks builds to this head of Oscar harmonizing, it felt Euphoric almost, it felt like it reflected exactly the scene in front of us. I finished the song with a recording of my bredrin Leo Cerda, who’s indigenous Kichwa from the Amazon, and who I stayed with when I went to Amazon, describing a saying the Kichwa community say about when you forget your dreams you’re no longer human, and that’s why people are able to destroy the natural world because they forget they are part of it.
