Lead vocalist Iain shares insight into the inspiration behind the track:

“I wrote this when I felt burnt out from self-improvement," they say, "In the process of being 'better', I started to only see the parts of me that weren't 'good enough'. It became too much, and the guilt made me want to return to an earlier, more chaotic version of myself. As I reconnected with people I let go I started to let myself be. Getting out of my head and being around people I loved brought me out of that headspace.”

How to Build an Ocean: Instructions promises to be a deeply personal yet universally relatable album, exploring themes of purpose, beauty, and the pursuit of joy in the face of uncertainty. Produced by George Perks, the album marks a significant milestone for Bears in Trees, showcasing their growth as artists while staying true to their authentic sound.
