If their debut record No Glory represented a sinking into a new love with a wide - eyed and vulnerable abandon, Red sky at morning reckons with the calm after the torrent, the future it may represent, and the past it may unearth. The title is lifted from a 2000+ year old proverb that finds itself cited in the New Testament - Red sky at night, sailors' delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.
Traditionally used by mariners, Pruzinsky gives contemporary meaning to trudging forward into an unknown horizon at all costs. "I am drawn to the fact that so many people put their thoughts and beliefs into the sky, the mere colour of it. That we can see thin gs somewhere else, perhaps above, far beyond, that are to come to pass. To see a red sky above themselves, an outright warning of potential peril and collapse, and to still choose to go forward into something. If you know something is going to be uncovered or difficult or tr eacherous, how do yo u proceed with that warning sign?" This treacherous uncovering comes to light within the album as though unearthing a pristine collection of snow globes, each t rack polishing them free of their obfuscation. Co - producer Felix Walworth's time spent in semin al, cosmic indie bands like Florist and Told Slant shines through in the skittering Wurlitzer and electronics, floating errantly and quietly throughout the explorative fo lk framework of Pruzinsky's storytelling
