Reflections on Earth, Love, and Variations Album Recordings in West Kirby/ England

A year has passed, and the album now carries its name: 𝐸𝑎𝑟𝑡ℎ, 𝐿𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑉𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠.

Three times I have been to England's west coast, near Liverpool—West Kirby—a cradle of luminous skies that feels like a place touched by wonder. The impossible seems possible here—people walk on water like Jesus. And I felt home.

There, with Bill Ryder-Jones—one of my favorite musicians and producers, whose art I deeply appreciate—alongside his engineer and mixing companions, we shaped these songs, born in last winter’s quiet solitude.

This album feels like a mosaic of joy to me, woven from light and longing. I hope, one day, when it's time, it might bring you happiness too.
