Through four songs, Miriam explores the emotional turbulence of moving to New Zealand in 2019 and her eventual acceptance of the new world she found herself in.
Miriam: “I spent the first half of my 3 years in New Zealand writing this music, and the second half recording it. Whilst the music centres around loneliness and isolation, producing the EP itself has been a shared labour of love amongst friends."
