Sandrayati was born and raised on the islands of Indonesia to environmental and indigenous rights activist parents. Her Filipina-Irish-American heritage has led to an eclectic upbringing inspiring themes of her songs. Themes of identity run swift and strong like river currents through her record. Her voice is diaphanous, light as a spider-web strand being plucked by the wind, floating above the song’s delicate composition. “It’s a story of migration, one that goes back to the beginning of humanity”, she says. How movement – uprooting and planting yourself somewhere else – is a part of life. There’s pain and beauty in it.”
