Aren’t’s debut release Creatures of Habit is a quiet, captivating return to music for Meanjin-based musician Fionn Richards.
The record features four songs written at different points over the past six years. Each song is a reflection of the time in which they were written, with ideas discussed such as the complex nature of a person owning an action; the at once nostalgic and teasingly ephemeral nature of love; reaching the point of needing to break ties with people who are close to you; seeing through and trying to find light in damaging relationships.
These songs are lifted by an incredible group of musicians - Helen Franzmann (McKisko, Mess-Esque), Georgia Harvey (Yffer, Seagull, Cold Hands Warm Heart) and Cameron Smith (Spirit Bunny, St. Augustus, Ghost Notes, Terra Pines).
A short run of 30 tapes will also feature a B-side of three pieces of poetry written and read by Fionn.
