In an announcement, Oldham defined the lengthy wait and the thought course of that went into his new file, noting how music’s digitization weighed closely on his thoughts:
“In recent times, the entire world of recorded music, in the best way that such music is conceived, perceived, recorded, launched and distributed, has been atomized. I attempted holding my breath, ready for the storm to move, however this storm is right here to remain and its devastation is our new panorama. What else is an individual to do besides what he is aware of and feels, which for me is making information constructed out of songs meant for the intimate listening experiences of great strangers who share one thing spiritually and musically? I began engaged on these songs considering that there was no method I used to be going to complete them and file and launch them. This was a constructive frame-of-mind that protected the songs till this horrifying second after we let go of them and provides them to you.”
