The long-awaited follow-up to Heynderickx's 2018 debut, I need to start a gardenled by the July single “Seed of a Seed”. While that song was about reclaiming your time, “Foxglove” looks forward to dreaming of a relaxed future. “[It’s] my dreamer longing for a slower and simpler pace of life,” he explained. “Sometimes everything seems so far away—living in a city so far removed from a life connected to nature.”
Lyrically, Seed of a Seed it centers around the ways in which we have distanced ourselves from nature in a world of technology and overconsumption. Joining Heynderickx to flesh out the album's compositions are drummer Daniel Rossi, trombonist Denzel Mendoza and bassist Matthew Holmes, with additional parts from electric guitarist William Seiji Marsh and cellist Caleigh Drane.
