"This turns the song from a simple metaphor of wrongdoing into a deeper question: Do the higher things in life - family, art, community - justify the consumption each of us must do to survive?"

"While their insatiable diet can be harmful to the plants and trees they feed on, all is forgiven once they emerge as butterflies - light, vibrant, beautiful, important pollinators..."

From director Ryan Hover:
"To me, this song sums up the theme of the whole album: Is the destruction we cause inevitable? Are we doing the best that we can? The caterpillar is a smart choice of an analogy..."

My hope is that you hear yourself in here, that these songs articulate something you’ve felt but hadn’t found words for yet.

And if you hadn’t considered these issues before (or you’re not all that concerned w/ this sort of thing), then I hope you’ll listen w/ an open mind

Really thoughtful review. Makes me especially pleased to see a writer connecting the album to observations about their own world. Truly what it's all about for me.

"Shows the value of gently probing, drawing out connections & contradictions... pairing these thoughts with imaginative arrangements and music of minimalist beauty works a treat."

A little less than a month til Blight arrives, but already it’s real ⚙️

Thank you all for listening and reacting to the first couple songs. Eager for you to hear the rest and maybe say “yikes! this is intense…”
