Album Notes & Community Reviews

Transitioning from their stark acoustic beginnings, the Brooklyn-based collective fully embraces sweeping orchestral instrumentation on their highly praised sophomore effort. 'Eveningland' wraps Sally Ellyson's stunningly delicate, lullaby-esque vocals in lush, symphonic chamber pop and distinctly American roots aesthetics, establishing a gorgeously serene soundscape.
