>>> Mon 25 Aug supporting beautiful @wishlist.band debut at @northcotesocialclub classic (free from 7pm) Xx (@happy_axe by my side ofc).
.
new financial year / new name = more space to breathe > stretch out > grow into.
great for my soul.
terrible for marketing brand consistency / capitalistic dreams schemes of making millions via the booming music industry.
damn how will I ever recover from this.?

recording Two Truths alongside gabe @yung.bruegel was one of most grounding and precious creative times >>> precious to hold space and find home in northern CA with gentle, close listening, playful, curious kindred spirit who just happens to live v far away in arcata >>> a gift treasure to connect and find each other and make art togetherrrr
the golden/ burnt orange warmth and energy of the record found its way in during our time recording at Gabe's >>> long days nights recording, exchanging tunes, walking in the redwoods, singing joni with Stevie too, solstice swims, giggling, supermarket burritos and sharin dreams schemes plans and big and small feelings driving along the highway home at night. precioussss
>>> @yung.bruegel also just released his first lil song parcel into the world 'Tinderbox', it's perfect and precious do go listen :)
thank u gabe, still buoyed by this time and your endlessly inspiring and curious Nrg everyday.
>>> 2.114x weeks of 'Two Truths'

>>> POLJE NIEUK is the sound-based collaborative project of dylan mareliฤ and grzegorz dalmata. Their music practice is process-driven, combining DIY electro-acoustics, field recordings, synthesizers, and speech elements. Polje Nieuk works with these elements like building materials to form drones, rhythms, and textures that conjure imagery of hypothetical spaces shrouded in an ambient fog.

.
'two people, two truths - digging deeper lies'
>>> it all comes back to this
.
this song was too big for me to touch for a long time
this song is probably my most direct writing to date
this song is friction, tension, frustration, confusion
this song is unable to distill everything or get it all right, everything keeps changing, of course.
this song is also just a song.
this song is (confronting privilege, and the denial there of)
this song was born from a close interpersonal conflict but has now grown into a broader rumination on political apathy, (momentary capacity), and pain filling the world rn >>> so many things/people reaching >>> especially in p@/est!ne, the middle east >>> reaching right into corners next to us
.
this song has a lift, a resolve >>> untangling >>> hope >>> weaved into the last verse if u make it that far.
some days it's hard to find this last verse
the days when we do, I've seen and believe we lift each other up >>> and stand up when capacity is there
taking turns
(resting)
doing good in the everyday and reaching further out when can
.
this song is as big or as small as you need it to be
.
