From The Artist : “The album is a collection of songs that were written over a span of about 8 years. Most of them were conceived before the band Seasonal Beast existed and without any specific plans to perform or release them on an album.
It was recorded in so many different bedrooms, hotel rooms, and the occasional fancy studio. So many different musicians played on different songs, and yet only when I started to think of this group of songs as an LP, I realized that even though the songs were written in different eras of my life, there are many esthetic consistencies and reoccurring themes lyrically.
I’m not trying to analyze my own songs, but to me, a lot of it deals with creativity and inspiration, the constant search for it, the fear of never finding it again…the need to create a narrative that helps shed light on certain things in life and at the same time casts a shadow on others.” – Yuval Semo
