Seattle-based musician Noah Gundersen is back with a fresh sound on his new album 'White Noise', out 22nd September. With a music video for his new track Lover, Gundersen explores themes of fear, anxiety, and desire.

Working closely with collaborator Andy Park, Gundersen navigates the sense of emptiness that lives inside all of us, and pauses to reflect on themes of attraction and the illusion of choice. For Gundersen, the experience of making music is deeply personal. In this video, we experience the connection between two souls, even as we understand the personal sacrifice that comes from making room for someone else in your heart.

Sometimes you tell yourself something over and over, just hoping that it will eventually come true, trying to fill an unspeakable void.

Brilliant.

A book of self discovery, anxiety and acceptance.

Girl in the Walls is heartbreaking and empowering. It's beautiful and sad. I feel for the main character, the way they slowly pick their way through thoughts, feelings and removes the labels given by society to become their true self.

The reaction from the parents is fairly balanced but I think is a tamer version of what some people struggle through. I'm glad though, it's nice to see a gentler response.

I'm blessed to have family that are finding themselves, that have been able to openly say "this is me" and have support (early on in a journey that is so right and is clearly the right path for the younger relative).

Well worth an afternoon read. Keep an open mind and heart.
