Jura introduces a highly-anticipated playground of carefully sculpted characters, plots and lessons. A fictional land opens its doors and roof to us. A trio of trans kids run amok in rural suburbia. Various sorcerers of the wild future enter the scene on some songs; on others, the mind is cast to sun-drenched drives and journeys of yesteryear. At the heart is a pop sensibility: yearning, reflections, vanity, guesswork, hope. all lyrics written by Jura with the exception of the following sentences in ‘Amephrey and Ontario’ borrowed from ‘Freudian Electric: Deep Dreams’ (2018) by Bertram von Undall: “He was leaning on his scooter, an old Honda Zoomer.” “(...)mild scent of gas(...)”. “He looked back at me.” “My skin was tinted green by the glow of his eyes.” “The air raced across my skin.” “(...)at the end of a dirt road (...) overlooking a coastal forest. “ “I mean you are the machinist here, you must have some advice. I am merely some corporation’s attempt at being human.”
