The album Inwardly is mainly a continuation of my previous album Engines. Musically, I think Engines already had the blend of guitars and electronica that Slowmatch is. But I think Inwardly is a big step forward in really capturing what I had in my mind from the beginning. “Illusions” is probably the connector. Frankly, the lyrics still are clearly about envy… Lust. But the character is definitely alone in his head (even though there is someone else right there). The lyrics of the chorus show how much he has no clue what is truly happening to him. Musically, as I wrote before, electronica plays a more important role than before. To me, that song really shows what has happened since Engines.
