In this 4-track EP, we wander through the four great acts of daily life, in an imaginary realm suspended between fantasy and reality.
The March tells of workers gathering and walking side by side. In their diversity they reflect on their condition, share visions of the future, and nurture the hope of a better world. Step after step, they advance toward a colossal flying vessel.
In Blue Hour, they ascend into the machine, carried away on a voyage above the clouds. Bathed in the shifting colors of twilight, they surrender to dreams that stretch until dawn.
With the break of day comes Run Off The Mill. Ensnared in a system of relentless overproduction, they are condemned to repetitive, senseless tasks, each day echoing the last—efficiency devouring meaning.
At last, in Freed, the people reclaim themselves. It is a moment of disenthrallment, a release from the labor that consumes the greater part of life, leaving only fragments of time to truly live. With what remains, they ignite their final spark of the day—before once more preparing for The March.
