about

This album represents Recitals’ first orbit and their Flying Nun Records debut. It was written and recorded between December 2019 and November 2021 in studios, various bedrooms and houses. In these places, the band indulged in feelings of (and towards); love, mandated self reflection, climate change, feminist theology, interconnectivity, projection and erotic fantasy.
