Album Notes & Community Reviews

After notoriously scrapping the mythical, long-delayed 'Dear Tommy' album, Johnny Jewel and Ruth Radelet surprise-released this moody, cinematic collection of synth-pop. The record prominently features a haunting, synthesizer-heavy cover of Simon & Garfunkel's 'The Sound of Silence', setting a deeply melancholic, neon-drenched tone for the project. It proved that the band's signature Italian-disco-inspired aesthetic remained as potent and alluring as ever.
