Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins, 'Ignite the Seven Cannons' submerges Felt's pristine jangle-pop into a swirling, incredibly ethereal wash of dream-pop effects. The album highlights the brilliant, classical-inspired guitar interplay of Maurice Deebank and the deeply poetic, idiosyncratic vocal delivery of frontman Lawrence. It is a highly atmospheric, lush, and deeply melancholic peak of British indie pop.
