The title “Before the Throne of the Invisible God” comes from the image of a sculpted throne recessed into the wall of an Ethiopian rock church in Lalibela, with steps for God to climb up. It made me think of the limitlessness of the divine and trying to ideate our concept of the infinite, the divine and all powerful.
“Peach Velvet Sky” was initially the final song off of Black Rainbows, but I felt that the track ends with a question. Imagining myself in those rock churches, instead I chose to end the album in rested stillness.
