Time by Gathering Stars
Time is the culmination of work we began in 2019 pre-pandemic that we kept adding to during lockdown and finished in 2023. The songs on the record are stories about what each songwriter was feeling or experiencing during that 4 year period. Themes explored on this record are loss, separation, missing friends and family, healing from trauma, a pandemic Tinder date, leaving unhealthy relationships behind, hope and consolation.
So much gratitude to the following musicians, artists and engineers who helped us with this true labor of love!
