about

I did it! An EP in like 10 hours.
The main thematic inspiration here was all the stuff going on in our fish tank. The constant discovery of new things that might be causing him discomfort. It's meant to take you on the journey of finding a new issue, attempting to calm down and address the problem, dreaming of the future and the return to full power, and reflecting on other success stories of fish and fish havers from around the world on the web.
