Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally self-released after being dropped by multiple major labels, this deeply intimate record found Gray subtly pairing his acoustic guitar with cheap drum machines. The 'folktronica' sleeper hit eventually gained massive, unprecedented commercial traction, particularly in Ireland, largely on the strength of the inescapable single 'Babylon'.
