Band Aid
Band Aid (2024) mixes loud, playful band songs with comfort: a lonely monster, a hug that melts a frozen day, a confession on an autumn night, life as a badly designed game and a boxer's counterpunch. The language swings between struggle and warmth. This set teaches words for stinging and freezing, surviving and quitting, hesitating and confessing, and a love that stays faint but unchanged.
