Niko explains, “I tried to make the music feel grand yet cozy, glitchy but homey. It's also a lot about forgiveness and coping with family trauma with hopes to rebuild lives with the people you love. To continue pushing through the darker moments of life - no matter how thick the fog, I’ll be your lantern”. The band’s range of inspiration pulls from the short stories of Raymond Carver, the paintings of Amy Bennet, the poetry of Derrick C. Brown, and the sound of The Weakerthans, Hop Along, and the Mountain Goats. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album shines light on the struggles of many young people today who dream of starting a family, but fear bringing life into a world of uncertainty and desolation. Niko describes that “it’s about trying not to lose who you are as an individual as the pressures of love and adulthood mount, but also about trying to keep your loved ones safe”. As the album’s production developed, this idea stemmed into themes that center around the inevitable responsibility of guiding the next generation with love and compassion in an increasingly dividing society. “Chainsaw” for example is a love song that draws deep inspiration from the imagery of the classic horror movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/scarvesmusic?utm_source=ig\u0026amp;utm_medium=social\u0026amp;utm_content=link_in_bio\u0026amp;fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGncDlnPuO1oFBrgWTN8l4ByXiPIPoqYNsEzoJ0PbqCtgD-ios7mD76hHOuK7U_aem_Qc2scCBQj935rA9Ay-VKfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eFollow Scarves and stay connected.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TLE Music","offers":[{"title":"Sky Blue Vinyl","offer_id":62997302542707,"sku":"TLE114LP","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1193\/8946\/files\/TLE-114_Mock.jpg?v=1781810495","url":"https:\/\/tenderlovingempire.com\/products\/scarves-strays-forever","provider":"Tender Loving Empire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
