“Home” rarely refers to a singular location. Over a lifetime, many places can feel like home. It’s a place with a definition that evolves with time, taking on new meanings and shedding the old. This evolution reflects leaving or returning, moving in or moving away, coming together or falling apart.
For Margot, the word always referred to at least two places. Growing up as a dual citizen, international travel was a yearly affair, flying back and forth from rural France to urban Canada. Airports, planes, and rental cars were an unshakable part of growing up. Instead of lamenting and resenting those in-between periods, Margot learned to embrace them, finding comfort in the familiar-yet-shifting patterns of long-distance travel and contemplative interiority.
Now, Margot makes music with field recordings as a meditative, ritualistic way of appreciating and connecting with the environment—a tool for finding that feeling of “home” anywhere in the world. This album is an ode to the ebbs and flows of a long repeat voyage: it pulls its textures and structures from those cascading waves of newness and timelessness, and the competing/coexisting senses that everything has changed and yet stayed completely the same.
