This record draws inspiration from the Irish landscape, with its poetry and music reflecting the essence of the country.

Kennedy expresses a deep connection to his roots, stating, “To me, the album is a beautiful homegrown thing with Irish instruments and an Irish story.” He finds solace in the forest behind his home, which serves as a sanctuary for his creativity and inspiration. “I wanted that element to be front-and-centre on this album,” he adds, emphasizing his desire for authenticity in his music.
