Gonzalez said in a statement: “I wanted this record to be very impactful live. The idea was to come back with something closer to the energy of ‘Before The Dawn Heals Us’. The combination of guitars and synths is always in my music, but it’s maybe more present on this new record than on the previous ones.”
In addition, Gonzalez commented on a pattern within his albums: “I wanted to be more present lyrically and vocally even if that was daunting at first, I thought if I could achieve that, this album will be more personal than those that came before”.
Gonzales has firmly established himself as an artist whose work goes from escapism to telling full stories. This includes studio albums, film soundtracks, and compositions for stage productions. Gonzalez body of work covers synth-laden dream-pop found in Saturdays = Youth to the layered soundscapes of Before the Dawn Heals Us. In addition, Gonzales has influenced the film world where he has soundtracked for films such as “Black Heaven”, “Oblivion”, “Knife and Heart”, and “You and the Night”.
