From first instinct to finished record.

MOUJ arrived with a voice-and-guitar sketch and no previous recording experience. Imran found the tempo that let his cadence breathe, developed the arrangement, and built the finished production with instrumentalists in Nashville.

Imran rebuilt the song through programmed and performed electronic instrumentation, giving it a rhythmic and tonal identity of its own within the wider world of Years in Reverse.

An unguarded garden performance captures the song at the outset. Beside it, the finished master reveals how that first form became a record.

The song is first heard in an early performance during the writing stage, before its studio character was fixed. Beside it is the completed record: recorded by Imran at Studio Six and mixed at Atelier XXIII, with its arrangement, performance and final sonic identity in place.
