Album Notes & Community Reviews

An impeccably arranged artifact of the 1980s English folk-rock revival, heavily featuring robust brass sections. The ensemble injects traditional folk narratives with warm, progressive musicianship, creating a sound that is both theatrically engaging and deeply tied to British roots music.

Descriptors: uncommon-time-signatures, melodic, progressive
