This is an album about a young professional falling deep deep deep into the tangle of meaning(less/ful) life and even deeper into something more insidious and coming out maybe as the final girl and into something less human but closer to the earth.
There are a few conflicts on this album. The slacker versus the ambitious, nature versus the city, the feminine vs the masculine, nihilism versus optimism and probably the biggest one of all, the individual versus the group. After a few years of isolation, I dreamed of many things but the mystery of what it would be like to be a part of a group that had similar goals and free electricity (as I sing in “Easy Peeler”) really bugged me. And of course in true me style, what can go wrong? But I think conflict and maybe even consuming each other - in many ways - is in human nature.
The ambitious young professional versus the slacker is really just the two sides of the same coin. Sometimes it’s hard to explain to people how you feel. A fear of perception, the fear of rejection, the fear of love; and also the comfort of knowing yourself and the Power of Love all together wrapped into one big, messy piece.
