Neither One Of Us Is Wrong

PHOEBE HUNT’S QUEST FOR RECONCILIATION IN A WORLD OF CONTRADICTION

Neither One Of Us Is Wrong Out everywhere April 10, 2020 Exclusively on Bandcamp March 23- April 10, 2020

In her critically acclaimed 2017 release, Shanti’s Shadow, Hunt intimately revealed her inner journey through meditation and musical exploration. Neither One of Us Is Wrong takes flight from this personal introspection and cants a reflection on society that Hunt deems her ‘outer world’.

“I see my music, and art in general, as an opportunity to interpret and transmute the experiences we collectively encounter as we journey through life on this planet.” While this album intimately shares Hunt's personal experiences and viewpoints, she is painting a picture of what she sees happening all around her. From the opening lines "White walls and a picture frame", where she describes the boxes we encase ourselves within to the more subtle realms that echo in "Some Things Change" and "Fall To The Street", images of the reality we have grown accustomed to are regarded as changeable, transmutable and constantly shifting.

Recorded in Brooklyn, NY at the Grand Street Studio with her tribe of musical companions, The Gatherers, "Neither One of Us Is Wrong" speaks to the deepening polarity of the time we are living in. The album title track was co-written with Hunt’s long time mentor, Lari White Cannon, just before she was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2018. This song speaks to the reconciliation of unknowable sorrow that comes from intense and sometimes oppositional forces nature herself presents us with. Through the metaphor of the search for divine expression ‘beyond all understanding of melody or song’ Hunt relays that what we currently face in our world is beyond the grasp of the logical mind. If we cease struggling to ‘make sense’ of our world, but rather ‘tune in’, it is within this nuanced and logic defying realm that deep change can occur. This subtle realm, or ‘liminal space’, is the space between the duality of physical and non-physical existence.

Between the black and white of a yin/yang symbol lays a thin line, a gateway to transformation, where truth is revealed and transmutation occurs. Accompanying Neither One Of Us Is Wrong, Hunt is releasing a series of ‘dreamscape reality’ music videos that invite exploration of this liminal space via the subconscious mind. “Through this album, it is my hope to connect to the most primal part of humanity. The part where we know that change is needed in order to find equilibrium and balance. Where we find willingness to do the work that transformation requires, I hope this album can serve as a soundtrack for that time of change. It is only when we make connections with those who we cast aside as ‘other’ that we can bridge the divide so prevalent in our current reality.”
