Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the massive critical and commercial success of 'The Seldom Seen Kid', the Manchester quintet turned their focus toward childhood nostalgia and bittersweet reflection. The album balances massive, orchestral art-rock anthems with surprisingly sparse, tender ballads.
