Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the final studio album from the eccentric Welsh collective, the record largely abandons their early, frenetic psychedelia for gentle, profoundly melancholic acoustic pop. The lush instrumentation and Euros Childs' plaintive vocals evoke a distinctly autumnal, pastoral atmosphere heavily influenced by 1970s soft rock. It provides a warm, graceful, and deeply nostalgic conclusion to their highly respected discography.
