Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the disbandment of The Nice, bassist and vocalist Lee Jackson formed this predominantly acoustic ensemble to explore a softer, more intricate side of progressive music. The album blends complex, intertwining acoustic guitars with deep, melancholic lyricism and subtle classical influences. It stands as a sophisticated, albeit commercially overlooked, gem of the British progressive folk movement.
