The album contains 14 personal stories about how we feel and see the world for ourselves. around this so strange and troubled time when the seemingly familiar becomes unfamiliar, when the basics sway, when the truth in the sea of views is like a lonely island… And yet we still naively believe that love is the power that unites us all, that can turn everything music combined in an album At one fireis our way of telling the world. “

The artist Madara Kvēpa says that the design of the album is created in close connection with the music: “In the process I learned almost all the lyrics of the songs. It was very important for me to create a visual design that would be like an organic extension. The Sound Poets for music. The visual solution uses analogue photographs taken by me, which I supplemented with handwritten handwritten texts. The goal was to create a diary of memories of a warm summer evening, where you are with nature, your loved ones, with an open heart and a light spirit. “
