In Their Words: “We recorded this record on Bainbridge Island, just across Puget Sound from Seattle. In some of the songs you can hear the hints of the island forest. We would pause after recording each song, and we could hear the sounds of the rain and the wind in the trees. It’s in the spirit of the recording. This is our debut album, and it feels really special to share with the world. These songs are reflections on the lifelong journey of finding wholeness within yourself, of thinking of yourself as more than the sum of your parts. I feel closer to feeling whole when I get to play and sing the songs I’ve written on this record with Cooper. His sensitive tone and melodic style that weave through the songs compound the feelings of joy I feel when singing and playing. I hope that this record helps people find a sort of a self-acceptance from any perceived shortcomings or feelings of unworthiness, and that they’ll have a moment’s peace and reflection.” — Elena Loper
“There’s a melancholic feeling, and the sense of introspection on the record, yet is comes with a silver lining. I hope that people who meditate on the record will feel that and find it comforting.” — Cooper Stouli
