Noah Gundersen returns after a pause from actively pursuing music, finding himself disillusioned with the industry, no longer knowing his place in it. Noah took a job working in construction, underwent significant personal change and ultimately pushed past his former limits of commitment. "It’s been a challenging but rewarding period of my life, which I feel throughout this record. A lot of regret and failure, but also hope and the transformative power of love. Acceptance of the way things have been, and the way they are, and how little control we really have – acceptance that everything is transient. My hope is that these songs will find you in the ways you need. Here’s another message in a bottle – I hope it washed up on your shore at just the right time."
