SOUL CLOGGED by water

eternally grateful for my family

these songs came together during a period of consecutive unfortunate circumstances encompassing loss, housing instability, poor decisions, dysmorphia, disordered eating and a descension of my mental health.
in order to stay grounded I had to reach deep into the roots of who I am, what makes me, me- the physical artifacts of my own history. I had forgot a lot of small things. I remember much more now. the original name of this album was going to be titled "intervals" a play and metaphor on the word intervals in music and the ups and downs in life that make it up as a whole. after coming across my childhood 3DS and recovering old photos, videos, and voice recordings of my childhood and family, I felt much different about what I had been experiencing. SOUL CLOGGED is about growing up through life and losing touch of yourself. forgetting who you were as a child. the more hardship we face, suffocated dreams, repeated attachment and detachment all leads to a clogging of your soul.
