âWe want to have a momentum in our lives,â he says, âand I love hearing the musicians when they speak of transience in their lives because I think we need to talk about the evanescence of things too. As we found ourselves locked down, we talked about the project of this album. Then I started my own journey within this, because thatâs what collaboration creates: a kind of drive to look in and out, and that became my book: A Whole New Plan for Living.
âIt seemed absolutely natural to me that this whole new exciting venture would become the outcome of that plan,â Lucey continues. âWe talked about what it is to be individual, what it is to be authentic, to be hopeful, to be political, and I found myself allowing the experience of collaboration to take me from consciousness, and the volatility, complexity and uncertainty in so many parts of our lives, to this point where each of us has revealed themselves to each other, in lots of very interesting ways.â
