A warm swell of ambient sound precedes an arpeggiated rhythmic riff that springs into flight, exuberant and joyful. Sparkling electric guitar punctuates the relentless thrum of Hollie Fullbrook’s acoustic, as the potent lyricism she is known for cuts searingly through the noise - “Stirring, shaken, all of us waking under the same cover of sky".

Some of the album’s most beautiful moments are found in the surrounding tracks to the more anthemic singles - from the incandescent, tripping heartbreak of ‘Sparklers’, the captivating baroque hooks of Kore Waits in the Underworld, to the glittering chorus of One Million Flowers, every moment is lined with an urgent spell. Finally, in the album closer, ‘Cold Enough to Climb’, Fullbrook hones in on the central idea, of pressing on towards a kind of freedom, however existential or illusory – “we build towns out of ink, we realise pixelated towers, but to think the world inside is just beyond our powers”.
