‘Solastalgia’ is a sonic representation of emotional and physical landscapes. This LP arrives on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic begging the question: where do we go now? By holding the broken pieces of a relationship in one hand and the remnants of familiar landscapes in the other, ‘Solastalgia’ explores the impact of losing the sense of belonging. Inspired by the work of Glenn Albrecht’s Earth Emotions, Sumi faces the challenges of climate-related mental health issues head on.
