From Albarn's project “The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows”.
The project was inspired by the nature and landscapes of Iceland, a place Albarn frequently visits. A demo of the song was performed live by Albarn on the Boiler Room YouTube channel, as a part of their “Streaming From Isolation” series on May 17th 2020. Later, a more finished version of the song was played at the 2021 Glastonbury Festival Livestream by Albarn.
", suddenly everything goes in slow motion and beautiful geometric patterns start to appear and the world feels reborn in a way. Even the most desolate of landscapes after a big snowfall are perfect. It’s such an ephemeral thing though. It’s the same water but transformed for a moment."

On November 4, 2021, Damon Albarn interpreted the song in live at C à vous.
