Track Listing: Final track listing to be confirmed.

More information: This new record is the long-awaited follow-up to the UK Top 40 album The Art Of Losing, which received wall-to-wall critical plaudits upon its release in 2021 and scooped up a raft of Album of The Year nods from The Sunday Times, to Prog, to the Mail on Sunday. With Sir Elton John naming it "one of my favourite records of the year" and Caitlin Moran calling it "the inadvertent, beautiful and truthful soundtrack to this moment", it went on to sell over 10,000 physical copies via word of mouth.

Three-times Music Producers Guild nominated Davies created the new album at Black Lodge Studios while being given access to Pete Townshend's collection of vintage analogue synthesisers to produce an epic 14-track widescreen exploration of the nature of time and transformation.

Against the backdrop of the birth of her first child, after multiple losses and the discovery of her grandmother's voice on a long lost cassette tape in her mother's attic, Davies found herself asking the question: "What can we build out of the past? Are we destined to be held down by it? Can we ever return to these past versions of ourselves?"
