The title of the record stands for 11 stories of different forms of grieving, ranging from it’s dark and negative sides to very positives and healthy aspects of embracing grief to let go. MAVIS planned the release of a full length in 2020 but were already struck with multiple setbacks in their young history. Not only the beginning of the pandemic hit them right at the start but lineup changes because of illness, mental issues or members growing apart from making music entirely. Just as they booked live shows again roughly 1,5 years ago, their bad luck peaked in a studio fire in which they lost instruments, equipment and all merchandise. Right around that time, the two remaining members of MAVIS found new drive as they could complete the line up once again. Since then the 4 musicians worked tirelessly on putting all their experiences into the songs that now make this jewel of a debut record. They went into the studio with a “nothing is holy”-attitude to produce the best music they can and their efforts paid off as finally everyone can hear.
