‘Rosemary’ was inspired by one of our bandmate’s old piano teachers, who was awful to him. It’s about the sting of resentment and disappointment when a close friend turns on you, talks behind your back, and leaves you blindsided. Everyone has experienced that betrayal, and this song is about cutting out those kind of people and moving into a better space - ‘new world is coming through, the old is booted out with you.’ The song came together almost instantly, expanding once we crafted the cutting synth line after the first chorus - that really cemented the dance-y groove underneath. Recording it was special: our head lecturer overheard us playing it in the college practice rooms and offered us free studio time, saying the idea was too strong to waste. We tracked it in our college studio with that same sense of spontaneity - it’s energetic, cheeky, and bold, like shaking off the negativity and stepping into something brighter.

clear motion is a deeply emotional song, written from a stance of sentimental stubbornness, aiming to light a spark inside the minds of those unable to accept the passions inside of them. Sending a wall of sound to wash over listeners, and taking inspiration from Cocteau Twins’ inconspicuous lyrics, this song aspires to transport us to a place inside ourselves, and away from the cruel natures of the world.
