Album Notes & Community Reviews

Nick Talbot expands his typically sparse acoustic songwriting into full-band arrangements, incorporating heavy swathes of shoegaze distortion and post-rock dynamics. The dense, brooding guitar textures perfectly frame Talbot's delicate, whispered vocals and his persistently grim, darkly romantic lyrical narratives.
