Brought to life with the help of producer Matt Schwartz, composer Bob Bradley and guitarist Adam Warrington, Dom explains that, “I wanted to make a project that didn’t focus on singles or anything else except feeling and world-building… A project with no limitations.”

Of its title, he shares: “We turn to others for an identity before turning to ourselves. Self-belief, self-reclamation, self-evolution and change. As we grow up, we lose our belief in magic and mystery. We begin to rationalise everything; our cage walls build up.

“We compare ourselves to 15 different people before we’ve even had our breakfast.”
