Meiwa / Surface Tension LP Regrind Blue Vinyl

Surface Tension is a deeply emotive and introspective album that explores the fragility of human connection, the weight of inner turmoil and the power of emotional resilience. Across its tracks, the album weaves themes of love, loss, vulnerability and healing through evocative storytelling and rich, sensory imagery. From the tender longing of "Magnolia" and the existential dread in "Prey" to the raw confessionals in "Tired" and "Fire on the Water," the songs expose the tension between emotional depth and the need for self-preservation. Tracks like "Broke the Rules" and "Freeze Frame" depict fleeting intimacy and the tension between illusion and truth in relationships, while "Hiding" and "Emocean" embrace emotional overwhelm with both fear and surrender. Yet, amid the struggle, there are moments of solace and rebirth. "Sunday Island" offers a breath of quiet intimacy, while the closing tracks, especially "Start Again," deliver a sense of renewal and hope—an invitation to let go of the past and move forward with grace. Unified by a current of vulnerability and introspection, Surface Tension captures the complexities of being human—drifting between chaos and calm, pain and peace, always seeking equilibrium beneath the surface.
