Crestfallen

Crestfallen is an EP made up of material that was mainly written and conceived around the same writing sessions as for Human Ruins. Initially that album was envision as a 20 track double album but ultimately a number of tracks were cut to make it into a more concise single album. We had plans to record an EP of some of this material that never came to fruition until 2020 when the Covid 19 pandemic struck and we were all stuck home in our isolation chambers.

These songs were reappropriated, and we assembled a cast of around 10 players to contribute their parts and we sent them back and forth over the internet. The result is an ode to spring, to birth and new growth.
