Wilderness 04:29
Pick me up and place me on your windowsill Plum rains just keep beating on the glass I don't know how long I can sit still The urban cradle swings, but never makes a splash Pull me deep into your wilderness Lay me on a bed of glasses half-full Morning only comes in waves Soft words, softer fingers break the silences Time in my cocoon has set me in my ways Pull me deep into your wilderness
2.
Made of Clay 04:33
I want to let it take control, but I don't know how Spin in circles as the summer sweat is pouring down Catch a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror Just a map that leads me to a time when things were clear The skyline melts and falls away Walking people made of clay Burning in the summer sun but then the rain washes away Every care and plan you thought you made I'll be outside of the metro, headphones on Bicycle wheels turning under trees that shade the ground A sunburned neck and elevators to the top floor Just passing time, I guess that this is what rooftops are for The skyline melts and falls away Walking people made of clay Burning in the summer sun but then the rain washes away Every care and plan you thought you made
3.
Burn my hand to light the kindling The lights are dim inside this room, but I am warm Cold coffee kisses placed upon your neck Break an egg to crack a smile Of all the faces in this room, there's one I see Early morning light beams sketch the night upon our skin

about

This EP was conceived and recorded in Shanghai in 2020-2021. After finishing the album "A Knock at the Paper Door", I wanted to experiment with a totally different sound, which led me to playing around with synthesizers and drum machines. Thematically, it deals with not being able to travel outside of the city for more than a year due to Covid-19 concerns as well as falling in love with the city as a backdrop.
