"I was having a lot of dreams that felt quite real (until I woke up) and that really played a huge role in how I engineered the song. I wanted it to feel otherworldly, which is why I included a lot of digitally processed backing vocals and a vocoder-esque treatment laying underneath it all. When all those layers sat under the main vocal, it really played a huge part in directing where the song was going to go from that point. Isolation from your usual environment can sometimes make your life feel like you are living in a dream. I take myself on a walk or run almost every day. It’s my time to reflect on all the things happening in my life and the world over. ‘Mountain Steeps’ captures a couple of those thoughts I often find myself coming back to on those outings. Lots of self-reflection."
