This is an Update

Hi guys, just wanted to whip up a little post because I've been absent here. The past few weeks had been crazy hectic and I'm on the verge of just throwing everything away. I'm taking deep breaths now to relax but even that trick doesn't work for me anymore. Anyway, I'll stop ta…

An Abundance of Self Doubts

It's been a while since I've been on a long drive, and usually, whenever I'm in one of those moments, I get into a trance where I'm just lost in deep thoughts. I miss long bus rides and just pondering through old memories and what-could-have-been's. The reason why I'm partic…

evermore 12.11 🤍 'tis the DAMN SEASON

To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in. - Taylor via Instagra…

Anecdotes 12 | Trips to the Beach

Papa woke us up at six, and the early morning sunlight greeted my eyes as I yawned and stretched, pushing away the sleepiness that lingered from the deep slumber I was just in. It was a Sunday and judging from the birds chirping, it was going to be a beautiful sunny day. My brother and I changed fr…
