Posthumous Blog Post- December 2007First of all, we want to thank you for taking the time to listen to our album W A V E.It is the thing we are most proud of in the decade we have been making music together.We tried to make a piece of work that was both specific and universal.At it's most specific, the album is about two artists - Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake. Their story - and the album's story - is one of overpowering love, terrifying isolation and a beautiful abyss that neither could resist. They are real people. Theresa was a filmmaker and iconoclast in the New York of the late 90's. Jeremy was a highly renowned visual artist. They fell deeply in love and became inseparable. They moved to California, where the warm embrace of the sun and the limitless possibilities gave way to a crushing, delusional paranoia that consumed them both and drove them back to New York. On July 10th 2007, Theresa Duncan committed suicide in her East Village apartment. A week later, Jeremy Blake walked into the sea and never returned. At it's most universal, the album is about an all-consuming love that can not be put into words and the overwhelming wave that threatens to pull you under when your world starts to unravel. It has taken us more than two years to make this album. This may be because we seemed to be making something in anticipation for a future that hadn't yet come to pass. We were calling to ourselves and we didn't know it. On 1st January 2020, Phil's son passed away, aged 22 months, after a battle with a genetic condition called Rett Syndrome. On 12th March, Adam's father Pete unexpectedly died.It was in these moments that the album truly made sense. The all-consuming love and the wave that threatens to pull you under. We hope this album touches upon that sadness, but also upon the life-affirming joy that comes with having loved someone in a way which cannot be described. Thank you for listening. We hope you enjoy it. For Jude and Pete xx
