Drawing from his own personal experiences of overcoming escapism and embracing the challenges and joys of life, Cumulus Frisbee delivers a powerful and honest message that resonates with listeners of all backgrounds and situations. The album features a diverse range of genres and styles, from ambient and electronic to rock and pop, creating a dynamic and immersive sonic landscape that reflects the complexity and richness of human emotions. Whether it is the uplifting atmosphere of “Fall into It”, the mysterious progressions of “Fuse Sync”, or the exhilarating soundscape of “Fogroller”, each track offers a unique and captivating perspective on the theme of the album. “The Only Way Out is Through” is not just an album, but a manifesto for living fully and authentically, and a testament to the resilience and creativity of Cumulus Frisbee.
Cumulus Frisbee's own words about his albums:
The title "The Only Way Out is Through" is a theme that has shown itself to me very consistently over the past few years. There is ultimately no true escape from ourselves and what happens to us. I'd previously spent years of my life consumed by escapism, thinking that was the best method to circumvent suffering. The fact is suffering is unavoidable. The only way out of it all is to move through it. And this isn't just about suffering either. The only way to arrive at pleasure and peace is to move towards it. It's just so easy to stay in place, not moving in fear of being hurt. But it just inevitably suffocates your capacity for joy in doing so. This record is a soundtrack for "moving through it" - whatever that may be. It's hardly just the sounds of struggle and suffering - it is also the sounds of true relief and joy. It is an attempt to reconcile these dualities as a singular experience, rather than viewing them as separate. There is no separation between our joy and our suffering - and my belief in that is what makes moving through life feels more like a dance and less like a fight. It feels a bit vulnerable to put all this into words rather than wordless music - but what's the point of making art that isn't vulnerable? That isn't an honest depiction of our inner world? This is just my take on an idea that is far older than me, that I am merely rehashing rather than inventing: the only way out is through.
