Our friend Lily Paris West made the album art for 'Expert In A Dying Field' and 'Straight Line Was A Lie'.

Working with Lily is always such a joy, i feel like she really hears what we're trying to do and interprets it visually in a perfect way we could never have imagined.

INFO for NON-BIRDERS: Kererū are NZ's sloppiest native big pigeon. They love to eat fermented fruit and this leads to public drunkenness and falling out of trees. That's not a theme of the album or anything tho. 💌 🐦

We made a playlist of songs that helped inspire the album. We've called it 'The Kererū Covenant', which was our codename for project LP4.

Ben came up with it, as he is a very skilled namer. In the beths we entrust him to name anything that needs a name.

Called off the search
for evidence of an after
Decided I'm fine without
Forever is this, right now
But one day if you arrive
just send me a small sign
I don't need the proof of place
Just tell me you got there safe

Thanks for the kind words about the new song ❤️

It's been comforting to hear people connecting with something so personal. It's me trying to process my relationship with my mum, and her relationship to her faith and with her own mother.
