Album Notes & Community Reviews

LYR, the project featuring poet laureate Simon Armitage, returns with 'Dark Sky Reservation'. The album continues their unique blend of spoken word poetry with atmospheric, cinematic music that draws from art rock, ambient, and post-rock. It's a thoughtful and evocative record where Armitage's poignant words are perfectly complemented by rich, immersive soundscapes.
