'No Statue' was initially completed in September of 2025, though the whole album was re-recorded after a life changing event; the re-working of a finished project into a raw sound drenched in space and melancholy. In its newly completed state, this album is a monumental achievement within the small but talented Meanjin ambient space, another step forward into the world of experimental composition and production.

Much of the album’s mood and inspiration are drawn from a single scene from The Sopranos, in which underling Chrissy walks out to sit on the steps of his boss’ house to contemplate his future. This scene strikes the heart as a tranquil moment that would impact his entire life, specifically his loneliness and drug dependency.

“If there is an overarching visual for the project,” says April, “It is that scene in which a scared boy stares into the distance past you and fumbles for a cigarette.”

'No Statue' is not a continuation of ideas past but a sprawling mass of music that shifts and evolves, a project dedicated to a decade of living and breathing the wonderful world of ambient and classical music.
