Sebastian Rochford describes his album as a "short diary of loss" and calls it a sonic memory born of love and a need for solace. The release is dedicated to his father, the Aberdeen-born poet Gerard Rochford (1932–2019), and to the family. Most of the compositions were written after his father's death; Rochford, one of ten siblings, performs these pieces with pianist Kit Downes in sensitive and clear interpretations. The final, melancholic piece, "Even Now I Think Of Her," is by Gerard Rochford himself. Rochford recounts that his father sang and sent him this melody over the phone; Rochford forwarded the recording to Kit Downes, who listened to it, and they both began working on it. The album's haunting atmosphere will resonate emotionally with many listeners.
