An endless sequence of dead zeros

"All roads lead to the meditative and mesmerising closer 'Alabaster Skin'. A song written about the Belfast riots of 2021, Arborist is on record saying "the older, bitter generation stoking hatred in the young, only to realise that they are not of the same mentality, their minds have not been poisoned". It closes with the lines "Honey, I've been dreaming of an awful rage/In another body, in another language" beautifully wrapping the whole album up in loop bringing you back to the opening song. It's a cyclical element which shows how much care has gone into the making of Dead Zeros. It's that attention to detail which will encourage the listener to repeatedly return and also mark their cards to wherever Arborist travels to next".
