Sandi Glowe looks both to the past and the future on is it the past that affects my will?, her debut EP for AnalogueTrash. Since signing with the label in December 2022, she has released two well-received singles - Silent Town and Where the Light Goes - and made appearances on the two most recent editions of their Label Sampler series.

“is it the past that affects my will? explores my dreams and my fears,” reveals Sandi. “It looks at both sides of the coin: feelings of hope and feelings of hopelessness. With the EP, I wanted to paint a world of surreal images to talk about feelings that we all feel and have felt.”

She continues, “I didn’t reference specific artists in the writing process, I have always been naturally drawn to melancholic melodies and that’s what generally guides my songwriting. However, in terms of production me and my producers had different references in mind for each song to add emphasis to the tone and message of the lyrics. The ethereal and romantic dreampop textures of Cigarettes After Sex were the main reference for Blackpool’s sound, for example.”

“Michael Andrews’ Donnie Darko soundtrack, with its John Barry and Ennio Morricone influences, inspired the production for Where the Light Goes and industrial rock acts like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry can be heard in the production choices for Silent Town and elements of She Holds All the Pain of the World. As diverse as that may sound, the EP works really well when played from start to finish in its entirety, something that was very important to me during the recording and production process.”
