One Is Always Heading Somewhere (Clear Vinyl) - By: Womb - Model Number: FN632LP

Description

One Is Always Heading Somewhere is Womb™s third album, recorded throughout 2023 and 2024, between living rooms and bedrooms of various houses across the country “ from the trio™s hometown of Te Whanganui-a-Tara to their new homes of Whanganui, Whakat?, and T?maki Makaurau. The album builds musically from where their previous albums “ Like Splitting the Head from the Body and Dreaming of the Future Again “ left off. While still harbouring their signature emotive and ethereal sound, Womb™s third album sees the three moving toward a more refined style. The arrangements are layered and warm, where Georgette's driving drums are met with percussive samples, Haz™s cinematic synths swirl and rise, and Cello™s textured strings stretch across the tracks. There are also sparser moments that draw you to Cello™s direct and often melancholic vocal delivery. Lyrically, the songs trace moments across the two years recording the album, drawing on the repeated imagery that characterises Cello™s days: of driving, of dreaming, of light on water, or in the sky. Each song is both personal and allegorical, diaristic and metaphoric “ each looking at connection and the things we are tethered to.
