A deeply personal record, born from a difficult period in Quentin’s life. An album about grief, broken relationships, letting go, and finding a way forward.
“NO HARD FEELINGS tells the story of a traumatic event from March 2022 which triggered severe depression. I found myself in a pretty painful situation from a personal and professional standpoint, regarding my solo project and my band Birds In Row. Friendship and work relationships have always been tightly intertwined, since every person I create art with is usually someone I call friend.
[…] This album is a collection of hard feelings I struggled to cope with during this long period of grief and insomnia. I had to let go of some people and relationships. I had to let go of my dreams and ideals and I had to forgive myself for wanting to give up.
The writing process was really challenging and lonely, but also healing and necessary.
[…] It is a real shift from my previous work, which was deliberately stripped down and meant to be played solo. This time it’s packed with of arrangements and definitely a band effort for live shows to come. A lot of friends collaborated on this recording, making it full of surprises and, even if terribly sad, filled to the brim with love.
Letting go, but never giving up.”
