A moment in time. This unique 150g vinyl pressing is a capture of change, and a tribute to the trans community. We are expected to not only rearrange ourselves to suit a public idea of how we should be, but to change instantly.
Julz Evans began recording this collection of 5 songs shortly after starting hormone replacement therapy/testosterone. His vocals for each song were recorded periodically to show the deepening of his voice on T.
The EP (recorded at Love Shack Studios, Footscray) is largely a folk composition, written on acoustic guitar and featuring the usual band instruments plus cello, violins, rich harmonies and an accordion as things start getting darker.

lyrics
I'm ready when you are
You know I'm nervous as hell
Suddenly I have so much more energy
I know you do as
Well, on second thoughts
I'm tired of feeling stuck x2
This is all coming to a head
What's say we lay this lie to bed
And I need to rest my weary eyes but I can't seem to
Sing myself to sleep
It's that ugly time of year again
Not knowing is killing me
Make me a paper crane
When I see its buoyancy
I'll breathe easy
Easier said than done
I'm walking on sea legs x2
Chorus
This is all coming to a head x6
