Pie Are Squared - Home Diaries: Muri (2020)

Home Diaries 013: Pie Are Squared

muri is my contribution to Whitelabrec's ongoing Home Diaries series of releases. The album builds on the sound of my latest releases, but is more melodic and definitely more expansive from an instrumentation and sonic point of view. Even though this was made entirely in lockdown, I didn't want to make an album that is necessarily sad, I wanted it to sound cozy, comforting even. These are songs that I would play to try to detach myself from what's going on outside the walls of my apartment (hence the album title) and I hope they have that same effect on whoever listens to them.

A bit about the Home Diaries series from Whitelabrecs:
Home Diaries is an invitation to artists and musicians to create an album or EP to document their personal experience during the lockdown or social distancing conditions that are upon us, due to the coronavirus outbreak. The series reflects a range of sounds, styles and ideas, as each artist portrays their own reflections uniquely. Each release is digital only for now, as we hope to raise what we can to help keep our label ticking over at this time. The releases feature a recurring polaroid image of a small lonely house, with a coloured filter chosen by the artist for each respective release. We interview each artist and this is included as a bonus PDF with the download. You can also check out the Home Diaries series on Spotify if you prefer, which will be available to stream in due course.

Enjoy and please head over to the label's bandcamp and check out the other releases in this series.
