The Navigator is organic and slow burning with a crushing, instant sense of nostalgia and vulnerability with as mentioned above soaring guest vocals from Anja Madhvan. The piano was actually recorded on Adele’s old touring grand piano at Old Chapel Studios in Chichester whilst bassoon and cello loops were created by recording legato notes and processed through a 4-track, reversed and tape-looped to create endless lo-fi drones.

Pete Lambrou says, «This album is founded on feelings of isolation and separation that lockdown had on each of us – both on a personal and on a human race level. . We’d become a nation – a world-divided. And although I hadn’t tried to represent that in album form, these things tend to slip out. I could never sit down and write a song about the state-of-the-world, but I believe that if you don’t try and force it, whatever is there deep down, will come to the surface in some way».
