Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran Liverpudlian group continues their remarkable evolution from doom metal pioneers into architects of sweeping, highly emotional art rock. The album seamlessly blends gorgeous orchestral arrangements with surprisingly prominent electronic beat programming, pushing their sound into more diverse territory. It stands as a lush, passionately performed reflection on love, loss, and cosmic interconnectedness.
