"This record was made over the course of 4 months and it is the closing chapter of my life in the uk. ‘Dysphoria’ documents my intense relationship to the sea and the quiet beaches of my hometown, how they helped shape my relationship with Gender and femininity. No matter how turbulent and confusing times could be, the solitude of the warren would always be a fascinating and healing venture. Without pressure, without masculinity, without autism, held only by the sounds of the ocean, the creaking of branches and feminine presence. Studying the roots of trees tearing through the sands and leaping into the ocean, I developed a life long obsession with overlapping and weaving textures, how nature and history impact our relationships with ourselves and each other. I gazed into tranquil waves and found the person I learnt not to be." - Reece

"Sanely deforming my remembrance
From which I leap to life again
I walk into waves, they don't cover me
But I know the sea the same way
Not knowing the air that smothers
As if the wind only blows for the waves
And the vital fluid smells only like blood.

For the forgetful, insensible onlooker, silence will indicate peace, acceptance, even dullness. The inner truth will not be revealed to this observer. This learned silence has grown watered by absence of compassion - an armor of thorns to protect from a feelingless environment. There is no doubt: one day the truth, enriched by sorrow and ornamented in grace, will burst out of their chest. It is only a question of whether the screams will be heard.

The debut LP of Reece Thomas, formerly known as Alocasia Garden, is a highly personal and bravely revealing story titled 'Dysphoria'. The seven songs candidly express inner forces tearing one apart; a harsh struggle of dissonance and harmony weaves into a beautiful, yet anguished, whole." - Amulet Of Tears Records
