“Coming off as more of an experience than a song or video, ‘To Pieces’ contemplates with a cinematic panache and as much of a feeling as a sound. This is music at a guttural level. Taking everything that a sound or note could ever be and filtering that through everything human. Tribal at the core and venerable around the edges, ‘To Pieces’ is an emotion matched with an enigma that only you can find the answer to, and that answer is interpretable only to you. This is the power and penchant of the perfect music: mayhem guised as a muse.
As I listen and watch, I feel like something is being added to my soul. Is what that is or what that could be up to me, or is it tepid inspiration? I realize then that this is what the best music does: it leaves the result and realization up to me. What I am moved by is the existence of this in the world and how it found me. It takes me in and lets me live, then leaves me be. A little fuller and a little more creative.”
