“Being a member of a touring band requires you to pack up your regular daily freedoms and fold into the crew, and it’s really jarring to come back home and have the rest of your life waiting for you. “Alone” is about naming the ever – present fears I saw in myself as soon as the ground stopped speeding by outside the windows. It also acknowledges the insidious escapism that social media and information overload presents in our society. I don’t want to spend my days living out someone else’s design or being too afraid to let my real spirit be seen.” ∼Aby Wolf on her new solo EP Call the Rocks.
