Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally slated to be recorded in California, pandemic restrictions forced the veteran Scottish ensemble to record their tenth album entirely in their native Glasgow. Returning to a more organic, band-oriented production style, the tracks provide warm, bittersweet meditations on aging, spirituality, and long-term relationships.
