Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his critical success in film composition, the artist returns to his solo career with a project that deconstructs the pastoral imagery of the English countryside. The tracks utilize a juxtaposition of classical baroque instrumentation and abrasive, hyper-modern electronic synthesis. It serves as a surrealist autobiographical work, blending ironic detachedness with moments of profound, synth-heavy grandiosity.
