'when will you be here again?' is the second album from Eora-based artist Grasps,
following the 2019 release of their metal/ambient/electronic enmeshment 'Awoken'.
On WWYBHA, angels crash to earth, impacts heavy and burns through atmosphere,
but not forgetting the fall, the beautiful grace of silk and hair through cool mist and soft clouds.
Combining solo works with a carefully curated set of collaborations with Bayang (tha Bushranger),
Marcus Whale & Wa?ste (Felix Idle), Grasps pushes extremes of 'genre' throwing all preconceived
notions of their music away, in replacement raw emotional sonic outpouring.
This album is about dealing with uncertainty/fear of death, the afterlife, identity & self-worth.
I look to an empty field. It's like a fantasy. I could stop. I could get out and walk over to it.
I could smell the grass closer. The hay. The sprigs of corn. I could hear the cicadas louder.
I could come closer to it. I think, when will you be here again?

Desperate in a Field of Dreams
Wandering aimlessly (astounded) with
eyes like owls in periphery vision
fall to knees
no sound but wind brushing hair
grass beneath my knuckles
what is this lightness?
