Vinyl LP pressing. 2016 release, a collaboration between the acclaimed American composer Nico Muhly and the Faroese singer/songwriter Teitur. The two musicians began work on the project when Muhly was composer-in-residence at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The songs' lyrics were inspired by or culled from video and commentary the pair found on YouTube. We came up with this premise of boring videos, home videos, Teitur explains. It was a time when everyone was posting these meaningless videos. It was just fascinating when we started watching them... The more you watched them the more you started to wonder, 'What is behind this? Why are people doing this?' They are really saying, 'This is really beautiful, this is really sick, this is me,' people confessing things. And that gave us the title for the record. Describe You, Sick of Fish, Cat Rescue, Small Spaces, Her First Confession, I Smoke, Nowheresville, Coffee Expert, Dog and Frog, If You Wait a Little Longer, Love Hits You Where It Hurts, Printer in the Morning, Don't I Know You from Somewhere, Time to Dry
