Drew this for a band but we went in a different direction - So here is a drawing. Palestinian family planting an olive tree whilst Gaza is rebuilt by its people. Hope is an act of resistance! Free Palestine!

The context of the album was the oppression of a people by a theocratic dictatorship,so the sample wasn't sloppy.We also recorded this album in 2007,years before Dawkins decided to shit the bed & become a transphobic islamophobic asshole. Young,naive atheists almost 20 years ago?yes.But not sloppy.

We haven't been an active band in 16 years, and although we are still close friends, and talk regularly, it does take some wrangling to make collective decisions. It just wasn't on our radar. It is now!

Alex CF @artofalexcf.bsky.social · Aug 1

FYI Anyone wondering - the bands I am involved in (Fall of Efrafa, Morrow, Wreathe, Ancient lights etc ) are removing all of our music from spotify. Some catalogues were added years ago by labels we've worked with, may take some time. I don't use spotify, so it didn't cross my mind, but we're on it!
