‘Scattered Shadows’ creates a mystical mood and sense of ambivalence, which invites reflection and contemplation of our modern lives. The album is an exploration of our fragmented, modern human experience when global mobility is at its height, and our lives are increasingly transient.
There are scattered shadows in every society: the individuals whose existence is important, yet remains largely unseen. Whose lives and work are vital to upholding our civilisation, yet is carried out largely in the background; sometimes thanklessly, often without certainty or security.
