The fourth track on the album is called “Shining Girl.” We began the work in Italy and sent rough tracks to Estonia for Robert Jürjendal to record some guitar on. We had recently played with him at the Kukemuru Ambient Festival there and wanted to continue our collaboration. The lyric is based on an idea of Miguel’s – standing up for those near to us who are struggling: “and if they rob you blind, and try to steal your heart, I will be by your side.” After Robert’s sparkling contributions we thought to fill out the low-end with help from our collaborator, the remarkable bass player, Kai Eckhardt. The result, we hope you agree, is a unique ambient-pop potion. The piece was premiered live in Stockholm at Fylkingen when we were invited by The Flock AB in 2016.
