The group collectively offer of the record:
“The album serves as a tribute to those who have uprooted their lives and their families in search of hope and a better future. It also serves as a cautionary tale to those who remain complacent, falsely secure in the privileges of their illusory societal positions. Hiraeth is a manifesto of the immigrant experience; a call for all of us to embrace our shared humanity, awaken to the fragility of our existence, and confront the crises we face collectively before it’s too late.”
