Footsteps // 01 Aug 2025

8/14/2025
August Footsteps smells Autumn on the horizon. The mood is one of reflection, the songs play out accordingly. In all of them there is sorrow, freedom, fear, and fury. Who the hell makes those missiles? Some technical difficulties were prominent during the last twenty minutes of this – notably, the left jog wheel and microphones stopped working completely. All my apologies.
