‘Faeries’ was the name that came to mind naturally when Claire first
heard the guitar-only demo for this song in Ciccio’s home studio. It
was this name that allowed the song to grow into the sonic and
lyrical space it now takes up, telling stories of the intimacies and
vulnerabilities of queer love through psychedelic release and lived
experience.
Ciccio and Claire have always wanted to write a song that evokes the
groove and atmosphere of ‘Faeries’, but doing so through a personal
lens — and a creative moment shared between them — has led to this
being one of their most loved songs on ‘Music is the Answer’.
Through love and music, they hope ‘Faeries’ allows others to feel
connected to those around them, while maintaining a sense of
self-presence and joy.
