Zu den Ideen hinter den Songs betont die Musikerin: “When I think of these songs, I think about fading flowers in vases, melted candles, getting older, being on tour and having things change while you’re away, not realizing how ephemeral experiences are until they don’t happen anymore, fear for a planet we’re losing because of greed, an ode to art and music that’s really shaped your life that can transport you back in time, longing to maintain sensitivity and to not sink into hollow despondency”. Immer wieder jedoch geht die Musik mit ihren Referenzen an den spezifischen Schauplatz zurück: “There’s a big old hotel there called the Hotel Arkada, and you could tell it had been hosting holiday-goers for decades in a great way”, so Lattymore. “I walked around the lobby and the empty ballrooms and it looked like a well-worn, well-loved place. My friend Stacey who lives there told me to ‘say goodbye to Hotel Arkada, it might not be here when you get back’ and I heard soon after that it was actually going to be renovated in a very crisp, modern way”. All die verschiedenen Eindrücke sollen in der Musik für eine Sekunde bewahrt und gehalten werden. Das Album erscheint in zwei Vinyl-Editionen, als CD und zum Download mit Artwork von Michael Cina bei Ghostly International.

McClements’ desire for adventure on an individual level mirrors the playfulness and experimentation on A Hole In The Fence. Though he had played the accordion for years in folk and indie rock bands, as McClements’ listening habits expanded, so did his artistic ambitions. He admits to not having a serious pedigree in ambient or drone listening, but becoming familiar in recent years with artists who create singular visions out of classical and early music instruments like Kali Malone, Mary Lattimore, and Pauline Oliveros provided growth and newfound compositional interest with the accordion, concentrating on overtones and intervals. Fittingly, as the songs mark novelty in his artistic life, McClements’ titles on A Hole In The Fence often construe moments through a gateway. Take the gorgeous title track Thresholds (through a hole in the fence).” (Conflict of Interest)
