about

"A river slowly returning to its sources. Until it drinks from them, it can’t rest, it can’t entrust itself to the sea’s dark depths.

I wrote a poem about that river, wondering how it suddenly turned up. “Industrious amazement”—an apt definition of poetry for all kinds of reasons." — Anna Kamienska, from "Industrious Amazement: A Notebook".

Created during the tumultuous 2017, "Industrious Amazement" is a reflection upon the current state of the world and one's place in it but, at the same time, it's a deeply personal record which accurately portrays an all-pervading sense of disillusionment.

From pristine orchestral arrangements and gentle piano passages to distortion-laden tape loops "Industrious Amazement" presents itself as both uncompromising and defeatist work of art.

Inspired by the notebooks of a Polish poet and writer Anna Kamienska, the EP's set of themes viscerally resonates with Anna's dissection of the self and its inherent contradictions as well as her exploration of a human condition as a whole.
