Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Welsh neo-psychedelic collective successfully honed their highly eccentric sound into a remarkably melodic and accessible pop record on their fifth outing. The album is incredibly diverse, bouncing playfully between pastoral acoustic folk, lush chamber pop orchestrations, and upbeat, sunny rock and roll.
