The Water Wheel is a concept album exploring impermanence and the cyclical nature of life — inspired by a time of profound personal change. Written in his home studio, the record is at once soothing and adventurous, blending acoustic textures, orchestral arrangements, and rhythms that draw from global influences. It features an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Yazz Ahmed, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, MESSIAH!, and Mirabai Peart and Dylan Rieck - collaborators of Joanna Newsom's and Bahlmorhea's.
