Over the making of this I've collected these text responses from friends:
‘Sand to glass to sand, soft bodied dreamscapes surrounding me as I wash dishes in my kitchen.
It makes me happy to be part of this music.
This music is how it feels to be lying in your yard with your family,
the breeze through the laundry on the line, sounds spilling out, sun on our faces.ʼ Helen
‘How weird is music?
That album instantly transported me back to such a specific time and place. It's weird though, not the place in the past, the parallel universe of some kind that I wasn't in.ʼ
Lawrie
‘I feel like it really cleansed my flat. Keep going!ʼ Jess ‘You should release that so I can listen to itʼ Lauren
‘is this soft buried glass? it's like continuously opening your eyes from a very long sleep.ʼ Chris
‘The benevolent sea foams. The heat of the day curses.
But as I sit and listen, the songs spread out and swarm on a cool, kind breeze. Full of heart.ʼ Hana
‘Iʼve been listening every time I drive. Thanks for sending.ʼ Hazel
‘It transports me from what I feel is a liminal space, into a warm space, a space we remember through a halo of the half light.ʼ
Darin
‘I think it's a great blend of your earlier more song-y work and your more spare stuff from the late 2010s.
Kind of like a more gentle and lived in Five Lights vibe maybe.
Love it, perfect album to put on in the house on the weekend, really captures the nice Point Lonsdale energy.ʼ Alex
‘This is gorgeous and weird!ʼ Oscar
‘It's comforting and feels generous.
My computer has struggled a bit with letting me hear the full softburiedglass album but I think I've got it now.ʼ
Jane
‘Itʼs dreamy, all the songs kind-of sound the same, but in a nice wayʼ Lara ‘Iʼve been driving listening to it - feels greatʼ Mark
‘The most beautiful impressionist painting of your family. A lovely floating quality in the cycling melodies.ʼ Casey
