Album Notes & Community Reviews

Cultivating a deeply introspective atmosphere, the Scottish outfit's second full-length is driven by commanding, melodic basslines and shimmering guitar effects. The record stands as a prime artifact of the mid-80s ethereal wave movement, seamlessly bridging the gap between gothic rock shadows and dream pop textures.
