Line Noise 248 - Danny L Harle (the Cerulean interview)
Q: How do you get someone like Dua Lipa to appear on your record?
It just felt like on that ... it did just feel as far as I'm concerned, like it was the thing that she was just like, yeah, it's a great track, let's put it out.
Line Noise 248 - Danny L Harle (the Cerulean interview)
Q: What makes it a suitable Valentine's Day present?
I believe there's a track on it called Two Hearts that's got a very beautiful message.
Line Noise 246 - Maara
Q: What is the sort of basic narrative of the album?
It's about searching for meaning and finding solace in relationships while returning to one's true self.
Line Noise 246 - Maara
Q: Is that what home is to you like in a state of calm?
Home is a mentality related to comfort and connection, rather than a physical place.
Line Noise 246 - Maara
Q: What did you mean by that?
I made the tracks for myself without the intention of sharing them, but a collaborative process lead to releasing an album instead of just an EP.
