Dig Yourself Shallower

about this album

"I thought I was done with this project. It started with the theme of escaping somewhere new and got to a logical stopping point. There was closure. Most of what comprises the No Room in the Arctic catalogue was recorded during a period in my life I can't quite call dark, but in hindsight it was certainly... something. I think of it as the time I slowly taught myself how to record music (inasmuch as you can say I've done that) through pure trial and error and did not much else. I didn't really go out or talk to anyone. Somewhen else the running joke for a while was that 2019 was the year that never ended for me. So much happened, it felt like I was there forever. At the end of it all, it was clear to me, I would set out to make 2020 the year where I put myself out there more. Ahem. I suppose the joke is still running. At some point I ended up moving back into the house where those records happened, all those years ago, and the irony did not escape me. I can't say I feel the same I did back then. I most definitely don't; but since it's just me and the internet again, there's nowhere else to go. Hi, everyone. I've got nothing else going on once more. There was no doubt I needed to start work on a new record to keep myself sane. And if I was going to do this, I wanted it to be more upbeat for once; if it was going to be of any use to anyone it had to be. But nothing of the sort would come out of me. In many ways it felt darker than ever. Not that I'm making any claims this
