Hello Normal by Jaspertine

Recorded in the background over a long period of time, such that a few of the tracks show their age a bit.

This album is a snapshot of living with anxiety in uncertain times. As with all my albums, the themes and ideas are strung together from vague abstractions and loose word associations. I can't make things too easy to understand, I'd be depriving you of the chance to explore and interpret.

Given the protracted nature of the production, combined with the sheer amount of "music as content" I've cranked out over the past couple years, I've gained a lot of experience at the more technical side of making music, and some songs on here benefit from that experience more than others. The temptation to scrap everything and start over was there.

I hope this music finds you where you are. I hope this music understands you.

But what about you? Do you hope to understand?
