Album Notes & Community Reviews

The tenth studio album from the English progressive rock collective acts as a thematic companion to their 2016 release, 'Folklore'. The recording features incredibly lush, pastoral orchestration including brass and string sections, intricate multi-part vocal harmonies, and lengthy, complex song structures. The lyricism extensively mines historical British narratives, scientific discoveries, and local folklore.
