It is an album project consisting of a series of spoken songs with a specially curated collection of poems chosen from an open call with the support of Quotidian - Word on the street. In the manner of "spoken song" Lee uses a mixture of spoken and sung voice, and many in-between inflections and combinations to musicalise the poems in these 9 songs. The poems from the project engage with themes ranging from personal memory space to cycle of power structure, attempting to point towards "things that keep us up at night".
The songs from the album were performed in an improvised set with Simon Waters (Double Bass) and Andrew McCoubrey (Drums).
