"While writing this album, I opened my closet, and a skeleton came out. The thing that connects all the songs is a feeling of the unsaid, whether out of guilt, shame, repression, embarrassment, shyness, or whatever could have been. I realized: I'm going to say these things, and not all of them are going to make me look good. The album made so many demands, and I just gave myself to it." Hamish Hawk
