Fold – We Do Not Forget

Our fourth major release We Do Not Forget tackles power structures that exploit us and our world for profit

We wrote and produced this 8 track mini-album between 2020 and 2024; a period of great turbulence, challenge and trauma for the world. The work embodies a journey of processing all that went on both internally and externally during those four years. This involved coming to terms with power structures that exploit us and our world for profit, often in horrific and inhumane ways. It was also a reckoning with historical arcs of trauma, reframing a lifetime through the lens of undiagnosed neurodivergence and pandemic burnout. It became a coping mechanism, interrogation, investigation, analysis, emotional outburst and affirmation (among other things).

Three US election cycles have passed since our first single Mr President, We’re In Trouble came out. On the eve of the 2024 US election, the lead and title track We Do Not Forget addresses a different president though the words of poet, activist, essayist and teacher June Jordan (1936–2002). She delivers a moving indictment of an unjust imperialist war. Edited from a talk in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War, her re-contextualised poetry resonates powerfully in light of today’s ongoing conflicts.

We Do Not Forget consists of 2 separate releases. The CD version (exclusive to Bandcamp) is an 8 track mini-album bundled with a hand-illustrated 28-page zine. We wanted to create something special for our core audience. The digital release is a 5 track EP available on all other platforms. The previously released material on the record has been either remixed, remastered or both to sound as fresh and tasty as possible.

We hope you get a chance to listen (& read) and that you find a moment of solace, peace, understanding or even a warm and fuzzy feeling in there somewhere.
