Background and recording
"...It was a quietly confronting and emotionally charged decision to take a break from working with my brother Jess, as I’ve collaborated with him on 99% of my musical adventures since I was a child. Working with him was really the only job/passion/pattern I’d known since I was 13.
 * Taken from official pledge page

...With blocks shifting and longing lifting me into a creative space again, I wrote nightly, furiously, on my beaten up parlour guitar and sang constantly into my IPhone as I walked down the street, garnering a few weird looks along the way I’m sure.

...Jan (Skubiszewski) and I had known each other for years, moved in the same circles and always talked about working together, ‘one day’. In an insanely fruitful (and free, thanks Jan..) trial day we turned one of my acoustic ballads into a synth heavy, programmed drum backed, slightly Twin Peaks flavoured moody-pop piece, and I knew I’d found the right key collaborator for In Tongues. I began travelling daily to Jan’s little but light filled top of shop loft on Smith St (Melbourne). Close enough to N.Lee bakery to get fed, close enough to the Union to get watered"
