Change Begins in Silence
Standing for “Silent Revolutions Are The Most Effective Ones“, the new album delves into the quiet transformations that define personal growth. The song “snakes IN the grass” draws from Indo-European mythology, presenting a vision of cosmological order through an almost animistic lens. The track and album together reflect on change—how it often begins within, shaping perspectives before reshaping the world.
