Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived rapidly during the pandemic as a sister-record to 2020's 'A Celebration of Endings', the Scottish trio leans into a noticeably looser, more experimental rock aesthetic. The album balances massive, arena-sized pop-rock choruses with unpredictable, math-rock-inspired time signatures and angular post-hardcore riffs. It serves as a dynamic, emotionally volatile response to the isolation and collective anxiety of the lockdown era.
