Seeing something clearly
doesn’t always make it easier to face.
Face Value is a collection of songs about what happens when appearances, explanations and accepted versions of events stop being enough. Across four tracks, distance becomes a way of coping, tension is held beneath the surface, pretence is challenged and a rewritten past is refused. These are songs about recognising what is already in front of you, and deciding whether to look away or acknowledge it for what it is.

Face Value examines what happens when the version presented on the surface no longer matches what we recognise underneath. Across four songs, distance, tension, pretence and rewritten memories reveal the difference between accepting what we’re shown and seeing something for what it is.
