Here she goes The words you thought you would know They finally fall from her mouth Speak She speaks But she can't quite meet Your eyes She's shy shy shy She's shy (In your eyes) She's shy shy shy She's shy (Can't quite meet your eyes) She's there Take it or leave it all

My heart is like a roaring rain Advancing on you Flowing down you Surround you Lover In the springtime I keep you in the heart of mine My love is like a gentle breeze Hushing past Rushing back To you Lover In the springtime I keep you in this heart of mine

about

The album was made from our bedroom, with little pugs sleeping at our feet (if you listen close you might catch a snore or two.)

These songs were a mixed bag of emotions. "Shy Shy" is about struggling to find your way through a conversation and exploring what can sometimes feel awkward and vulnerable when reaching for words. Especially after being boxed up in our homes for the past year and are now slowly wandering back into regular social interactions."Spring Cleaners" is about the change that comes with time and the passing periods of love - focusing on the bloom of the spring season. Also fun fact: we wrote and recorded it all within 24 hours. :p

The songs were made about a month and half apart, with Shy Shy being the first one produced while Spring Cleaners came about all at once in the final countdown. Sometimes the best inspiration is a deadline. ;-) We used a Roland JP-3X, Behringer RD-6 Drum Machine, Native Instruments virtual instruments, and lots of black and matcha green tea.

Artists we listened to at the time of production: Rozi Plain, Warpaint, Mazzy Star, Womack & Womack, Prince, Drake (guilty pleasure!), Death Cab...the list goes on. If you are into Spotify stalking, there may or may not be a playlist full of inspiration somewhere in my profile.
