Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by brothers Chris and Nick Healey, the London-based band debuted with an incredibly sparse, profoundly melancholic album. 'Coming to Terms' relies heavily on hushed vocal deliveries, delicate acoustic guitars, and incredibly restrained, plodding rhythms. The record's quiet devastation and minimalist arrangements perfectly encapsulate the deeply introspective nature of the slowcore subgenre.
