Written during her ongoing experience with chronic illness, "New Distraction" captures the restless search for something – anything – to break the monotony. "'Cmon, I’m waiting, for some kind of new distraction' was a mantra circling my brain these last couple years," says Judge. "This song came out of nowhere for me, though. I was too anxious to write a solo guitar lick for this but the band encouraged me, and it became one of my favourite parts. It reminds me of a Coldplay B-Side."

Hannah Judge began writing Living While Dying during a period of intense solitude and illness, managing Crohn's disease. “I was thinking about dying a lot,” she says. “It felt like I was stuck. Alive, but in freefall.” Illness became its own kind of limbo. A later surgery brought a period of relief – a sudden return to hope and joy – only for illness to return again. The album captures all three phases: despair, recovery, and the fragility of both.
