objects aligned out of time is an exploration of the self in company. The album explores the dissonance between image and self, questioning identity through the spaces we make for ourselves and the sounds we find in them. Made with field recordings and live electronics to distort and warp the voices, blending them with found sounds and objects. Using a setup of 1 delay pedal, 1 reverb pedal, a looper, 2 voices, 2 wine glasses, a stack of paper, and some dried peas. Self-recorded and produced in a living room in Sheffield, and mixed and mastered by Emmy Lambert.
