A seven-song album, Psalms to Strip to, inspired by the fiction, poetry and art consumed while locked away against such harsh conditions. The work of Jim Harrison, Gabriel García Márquez, William Blake, Jeff Vandermeer, Herman Hesse and the letters of Vincent Van Gogh all shaped the record in one form or another, though lead single ‘Death In Spring’ takes its inspiration from Rodoreda. A song from an ugly world, a fallen world subject to the violence of the wild as though undergoing some form of punishment or test. Erickson’s drums compel the track forward as though toward some great reckoning, Sustarich locked into the momentum and committed to its frenzy.

In the Spring
When the world is ill
Fury and blind will
Consumes everything
