Album Notes & Community Reviews

Co-produced with Brian Eno, the Canadian singer-songwriter's sixth album is an expansive, breathtaking exploration of spiritual and romantic longing. The highly idiosyncratic vocal performances glide effortlessly over ambient, electronic-tinged soundscapes, most notably culminating in the sweeping, epic track 'Calling All Angels'.
