Normal Conditions

Normal Conditions places Nora inside a world that mostly works.

Schedules hold. Systems respond. Doors unlock. Conversations complete. Nothing fails in obvious ways. That normalcy is part of the discomfort.

Across the album, Nora moves through days that remain structurally intact while her internal experience shifts. Attention drifts. Energy thins. Presence fluctuates. The external world rarely mirrors what is happening internally.

These pieces do not build toward breakthrough or collapse. They stay with the reality of continuing, even when continuation begins to feel uneven or misaligned.

Listening feels like inhabiting a quiet psychological weather: moments of autopilot, fragments of focus, stretches of near-silence, and small acts of staying.

By the later tracks, the cost of this endurance is named plainly. Remaining functional does not mean remaining unchanged.

This album is not about resilience as victory. It is about acknowledging what it takes to remain present inside conditions that do not resolve.

Nothing explodes, and nothing resolves. But something is felt, and that feeling matters.

Normal Conditions asks what it means to stay inside a life that still works, even as it quietly wears on you.

Nora remains. That is the through-line.
