Avenoir borrows its title from John Koenig’s book of neologisms, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, which defines the
invented word as “the desire that memory could flow backward.” Reflecting on the concept, Calum explains, “‘Avenoir’
refers to how we move through life like a rower moves: always moving forward but facing backward, seeing where we’ve
been but not where we’re going. The songs on this album speak to both regret and sorrow, and to undying love — a plea
to live life to its fullest."
