Album Notes & Community Reviews

A groundbreaking and highly influential album, 'The Cycle of Days and Seasons' saw the British band masterfully blending organic and electronic sounds. The record is a beautiful and deeply melancholic work, fusing the patient, atmospheric qualities of post-rock and slowcore with the glitchy, sample-based textures of emerging folktronica. It's a lush, pastoral, and somber masterpiece that perfectly evokes the feeling of a lonely autumn day.
