Meso Potato This album is such a raw intimate journey. It's insecure and awkward and calming and joyous, and each step is beautiful in its own way. It's so hard to pick a favorite track, but I love the part-competitive-part-collaborative energy in volley. It's like having a friend-rival in a sports anime. Favorite track: volley.

It’s always so hard to start Each new face a stage to play Wasn’t sure what ‘clean slate’ meant Maybe a false self If I ever get through to me I’ll see the whole truth One voice to another to find that space To share in one breath to make more time Speech like that always on the teachers’ mouths Easy words Pre-made warmth served to calm the fearing soul Bitter taste Smelled like forced handshakes and broken ice Senses blown but then from time came time spent came feeling from meetings came breathless dinners came raucous screams from folded bed sheets came torn carpets came cemented memories from devilry came a boiling point came a bond Funny to think it was a straight path Funny to feel that old pit in my chest Easy to believe I’d be different just like that That I could be without silence as I sit but the dread’s here deep in my heart— sorry I often find that void Shuddering Eyes focused on the fall Tears trailing But light offers a hand Spark divine Gleaming light of their love Unending So I suppose I suppose I can face a new thought To mend the cracks in my eyes And see the whole truth The unknown unknows a path I write and I wait My family not far behind I love and I thank you

about

“roots” is an album centered around connection and, by extension, conversation. The album journeys through all the stages of building a relationship, from the initial shaky beginnings all the way to an unbreakable bond.

The title, “roots”, comes from the idea of the historical undergrowth of all living beings. Roots represent the innate potential for all people to connect with each other through common understandings.

Above the earth, we all appear as different beings, but underneath the earth’s surface, we share a root network of similar human experiences.
