about

A masterful blend of hazy, filmic textures and layered vocals, the project of Bristol based artist, Helena Eve Walker, has earnt praise from well-regarded peers, Gia Margaret and Fog Lake, plus been played on BBC 6 Music, and had support slots alongside Ex:Re and SASAMI.
lyrics
i don't belong here anymore
empathic like sonar
if you asked me what the terror's for
i couldn't tell you
i live and breathe in memories
the good and the ugly
picking apart formalities
like plasticine
i was born in a garden
on the outside of fears
where cassandra slowly overtakes, overhears
i was born in a garden
when i liked being me
before the burden of my body
thoughts pass by like a bird in flight
if you don't catch them quick
