A groove-laden soundtrack for a movie never made, this record feels like the most comprehensive review of Berlin-based live trio Kerala Dust's varying influences and inspirations, merged into something wholly unique. The result of a year and a half's work, the record's most surprising aspect could well be that these varying musical tones all manage to feel part of a large, inter-connected musical narrative. Songwriter Edmund Kenny states that it was his most lyrically ambitious project to date. During the making of the record, he took a break from music to focus solely on the writing of short stories. Kenny was looking for new narrative directions and colours, which he initially found in literature before turning back to music with a fresh perspective, the result of which is to be found all over the record. The songs depict his approach to relationships in a creeping, abstract fashion. Never wishing to be too obvious, his desire is to leave as much room for interpretation as possible to the listener - while leading them by the hand from image to image. This abstract imagery is underlined by Kenny's mesmeric, driven musical composition - always telling a story while leaving its meanings up to the listener.
