Album Notes & Community Reviews
The seventh album from the Montreal-based chamber rock ensemble is a somber and deeply beautiful meditation on the pandemic era. Conceived as a soundtrack to a world in stasis, the album's title reflects a sense of loss and profound change. Musically, it's a masterful blend of mournful cello, minimalist marimba patterns, and the atmospheric, building dynamics of post-rock, creating a powerful and poignant instrumental statement.
