“That is an album about Dread. A couple of very actual, on a regular basis dread so many people really feel surrounded by screens exhibiting us how we must be, what an excellent particular person is, what a nasty particular person is. It’s about making an attempt to have and deal with and course of massive messy feelings in a world that desires issues to be small, easy, and shortly determined. Each particular person is flawed, each particular person has baggage, shrapnel they take with them that makes the airport safety beep,” Griffiths says.
“This album is about acknowledging that shrapnel, poking it, flipping it and seeing what lives below it, and studying to fall in love with the model of your self filled with holes and lacking items. It is a breakup album mourning the lack of a band, and all that comes with it: ego journeys, insecurities, misplaced friendships, fading love, rekindling outdated fires and a path to acceptance.”

Surviving the breakup of his band, the worldwide pandemic and reckoning along with his future in music, he factors the highlight immediately on the anxiousness concerned in any breakup we expertise: how am I perceived? How do folks talk about me? How will I be remembered? Am I an excellent particular person? The reply Griffiths reaches is an advanced ‘No’.
