Album Notes & Community Reviews

For his solo debut following the initial dissolution of Dead Can Dance, the distinguished baritone opts for lush, acoustic-driven melancholy over grandiose worldbeat orchestration. The stripped-back folk arrangements prominently feature 12-string guitars and subtle orchestration, highlighting the profound emotional weight of his vocal deliveries.
