Album Focus: OPIA
"The idea of some things that have existed for eons, shaped and formed through the ages, has always intrigued me."
Album title? EON
Where did the title of your new album come from? The idea of some things that have existed for eons, shaped and formed through the ages, has always intrigued me. Patterns in nature, and ancient cultures. The longest division of geological time eon.
How many releases do you have now? Eon is our debut album, and second release. Our first release was an EP in 2010 titled Emotion Evolution.

How long did it take to write/record? It was definitely a long process, spanning the most part of three years! Also dealing with line-up changes, but really just wanting to have solid arrangements, and the best debut record we could manage!
Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Mainly we reached a point where the songwriting and chemistry for EON started getting really exciting, even moreso in the studio blocks. So we were always chasing inspiration, trying to better the songs.
What's your favourite song on it? That's a hard one! They're all so close to me, all for different reasons, but I'll say Somethings.
Will you do anything differently next time? I think there's always room for improvement, whatever it is. I've gradually learned to go with the flow with projects, and think they guide you, as they come alive.
When and where is your launch/next gig? Our first launch for EON is 26 February, in our hometown of Perth, at the legendary Amplifier Bar with some great Perth bands, we cant wait!
