Waking Life & Dreaming Live - Letters to the Sun
"In the ashes of my homeland, I planted my hopes like olive treesโknowing they would outlive the fire" โ Fadwa Tuqan
Letters to the Sun is a double LP compilation comprised of music by Adelaida, Asifeh, Drew McDowall, drumloop & Mayss, fatalism, Faten Kanaan, Firas Shehadeh, Israa Shalaby, Jad Atoui, Kareem Lofty, alongside poems sent to us by Fatma Al Jabari, a poet in Gaza writing throughout the genocide.
The album emerged from a place beyond language. After a vicious loop of arguing, explaining, justifying, intellectualising - we found ourselves circling a distorted narrative, not our own, but one upheld by the very systems that seek to silence and suppress.
What if we stopped screaming into the void of geopolitical power games, and poured attention towards each other instead? What would it mean to build a space that assumes equal footing - a space where we can simply express, on our terms? For sorrow, for rage, for stillnessโฆ for the Sun.
