Description
During the winter rains in the hills just above the Adelaide plains, Cole wrote this bitter-sweet collection of songs.
This album, “Evergreen: Walk To Paradise Garden”, was sketched out between visits to Cole’s mother, as she slowly deteriorated into dementia. Visiting her, Cole made the 1600 kilometre trip monthly to his hometown of Kiama, on the New South Wales South Coast of Australia. It’s during these trips, his mother passing, the breakdown of his marriage, and his eventual return living there, that the songs took shape.
This 10th album by Trappist Afterland is a celebration of the bonds formed over lifetimes. Cole is very conscious of appreciating the present, and seeks confirmation that communion with loved ones is something to be treasured, even though such moments are sometimes fleeting. This album also honours the idea that new green shoots can always be found, even during the most turbulent of times in one’s lifetime.
“Evergreen: Walk To Paradise Garden” is an intimate album which celebrates “sucking the marrow out of life”, appreciating each moment, growth, seperation, healing from trauma, the joy had, and even relishing the dark night of the soul”.
