The first two albums are rather existential in theme, dealing with the emotional response to literal lockdowns and enforced isolation. Interior Drawings is the third album in the Lockdown Trilogy that was begun back in 2020 during the first wave of the pandemic, and added to in the spring of 2021 during some subsequent wave. Release date: December 10 th, 2021 on Bandcamp December 17 th on all other streaming services, and on cassette.
