The result of a 3-year period of both intense personal reflection and determined work, Hillier's most musically ambitious project to date examines concepts of injustice, self-doubt, failure and redemption - to name a few. Recorded with producer Chris Colepaugh at his Sunburst Studios, and with The Divorcees as session band, this new collection of songs comes to life in a constellation of sometimes dreamy, sometimes gritty, but consistently captivating music with a message.
