“Many queer people will understand a penchant for secrets and codes, having had a backlog of thousands of years where we were unable to live openly.
 
Here was a story that spans centuries, filled with hidden meanings and forbidden love, a way to express yourself openly via a secret code. Polari became my guiding light, a place where I could travel through time and create music that took reference from the past and remix it into the future. I’ve always written songs about love, but I found myself
with a new perspective beyond my own usual fears and insecurities. I imagined a world that was freer, one where I could be inspired by Odysseus, my boyfriend, Kylie and Derek Jarman. Polari came to encapsulate so many things to me, a creative practice in itself, an artistic refuge, it was a voyage that led me to many surprises - much like the language itself. This album is a documentation of that journey.”
