But when you've nowhere else to look but in here, manage your mental heath and the world around you, it's suddenly: oh, what do I actually represent as a human being, as well as a musician? And all of these things come to the surface like, why did I listen to (The Smashing Pumpkins album) Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness five times this week in the car? That gave me some sort of tether to sh*t that was normal, when things are very much not normal all around me. Because it's been easy to make CHVRCHES albums, in a way, in the past. I don't want to use the word 'comfort' because I don't feel this is a comfortable-sounding album for us, but we have had to look inside to get uncomfortable, which is unusual. The things that make up your musical core rise to the surface.

And when you can't do that you have no place to look but inward. For me, that's a place of discovery, living life.

In regular life, you have all these distractions. I think there's something about isolating - literally isolating - that forces you inward. The vocals and instrumental were recorded by CHVRCHES and Death Stranding: Timefall, and released 3 years ago on Tuesday 1st of October 2019.
