How are you, Our Basement?

Sitting on the edge of the bed alone, I was contemplating. The Bay of Fundy gleamed through the window in front of me, illuminated by an early morning light that gives a golden hue to all that it touches.

As the view of this landscape constantly changed, it also remained the same. It’s this duplicity we face when our lives take new directions, and conflicting thoughts become a challenge to be defeated. Though we remain the same, we continue to change. Memories are with us, and the future is ahead of us too.

Surrounded and encouraged by loving and caring friends in Port Greville, Nova Scotia, we played these chords and sang these words together. My forthcoming Seaview EP wouldn’t have been possible without the help of two of the most dedicated bands in the Canadian indie scene – WHOOP-Szo and Construction & Destruction. Simple folk tunes grew into powerful grunge pop tracks, styled after the early nineties sounds that I have always been a purveyor of. The four tracks travel with me as I navigate my life, with nature guiding my thoughts helping me express my journey of heartache and joy.
