Hello Our Basement,
Hinted at by the reference to laying out watching the Southern Cross, “Shadow Waltz” is rooted in Andrew’s time spent in Australia.
While in Tasmania, the island was on fire, and travel was limited to a small coastal region near the capital city of Hobart. Andrew spent his birthday in a beautiful beach villa with a woman he’d met along the way, who was already on her way elsewhere by the time he left the island. They swam as the ash from the fire was snowing down on the beach.
“Shadow Waltz” is about that conflict you can feel when you know things are changing and you need to say goodbye to who you were without fully understanding who it is you’re about to become.
Thanks for listening. We look forward to sharing more of our forthcoming Artefact full-length with you.
