Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Australian instrumental trio markedly shifts their approach, offering significantly shorter, more structured compositions compared to their previous sprawling epics. Uncharacteristically, the record also features two tracks with guest vocals鈥攑rovided by Chan Marshall and Sally Timms鈥攁dding a stark, poetic dimension to their mournful violin and guitar interplay.
