Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally formed as a string-laden side project by The Wedding Present's David Gedge, 'Torino' sees the group fully integrating distorted indie rock energy with lush, cinematic orchestration. The album balances his trademark hyper-literate romanticism with a surprisingly aggressive, guitar-driven sound.
