Agrestic by handwrist

This album, unlike the others, started with the title. I wanted to make a colorful counterpoint of sorts to the grey atmosphere of 'Metropolis', so I settled on the name 'Agrestic', a little known but immensely sexy word. As the previous one wanted to show you how disgusted and anoyed I am by city life, this one is about conveying to you the joys of living closer to nature and away form crowds.

For a very short while I entertained the idea of making it a concept album, like I did with 'Metropolis', but discarded it almost imediately when I thought about the ridiculousness of writing lyrics about how nice it is to be around trees or skipping meadows. I quickly realized that making music for music's sake would be much more representative of those pleasures than actually describing them. As it turns out, it's much easier, at least for me, to write lyrics about stuff I hate than about stuff I love. So there you go.
