The album opens with one of nine Interludes, which place the voice of Aysanabee’s grandfather, album namesake Watin, in intimate conversation with the songs that surround the precious audio recordings. These Interludes ground and magnify the themes of the collection, where the small details that punctuate Watin’s childhood memories are the sparks that kindle each song’s blaze.

In Watin, Aysanabee’s search for the opposite states of uncertainty, loss and pain bring a sense of reassembly in real time. The album is a work of renewal, gathering the fragments of language, family and memory as an immense and intimate work of rebuilding.
