Grasping Straws discuss creating sound and soul on latest album.

resonates with you?
“The central theme of this album is the balance between the natural world and human connection in the face of increasing technological intrusion. I wanted to convey a sense of awe and appreciation for the beauty of nature while also addressing the challenges of navigating relationships in a digital age. The moment in the release that really resonates with me is the bridge in ‘Comforts’ where I sing, ‘My comforts are my chains, my possessions claim my space.’ It encapsulates that struggle between material comforts and the freedom that comes with letting go.”
Finally, any plans for the future? What’s next for The Grasping Straws?
“We plan to release more music videos for the songs on the album and continue to create visual content to accompany the music. We also hope to get back to playing live shows as soon as it is safe to do so. And of course, we’re already starting to think about our next project and how we can continue to evolve and explore new sonic territories. The journey never ends.”
