the Driver & Somesun

by K. Olivier

The first of whats to come through this new moniker, more focus and emphasis on narrative, world, and lore (with the name lou jns still being alive and well, however leaving more oneoffs and experiments to that name i think…)

anyway… as this is the ‘music’ page and not the more formal ‘label’ page, I refuse the tidy and curated words one might have seen on socials, releases,,, (although that implies some would had have to SEEN the one and only post i made on my ~m e t a~ accounts, of which was lathered in my usual cryptic drivel)this album is first toes in the river of the wraparound, touching newdirt, warmsoil. I’ve been dwelling on this stretch of land for some time, even before I really knew it. Some aforementioned coasting would probably be (in my own headcannon) the first look into this world, crude and young and rocky, but she laid the groundwork for this space to flourish, and in the 4.5 years thats past since initial coasting, stories have been woven in and around this space, sometimes unknowingly, 

the space becomes tangible, lives are lived.

a woman named olivier is born, 

        alike faye, allohe, ‘the driver’

                & now the sun shines public on this record, on this world, for the first time

                        there is more here i swear

                        it will just take me some time

                & I know even this note here comes nearly three months late from the release of the driver

                it hurts me that my mind and body seem to work against this at times (or, if not work against partake in some degree of negligence, allowing time to slip meaninglessly .)

        but time takes to all equally

what will come will come.

I love you

thank you.
