Album Notes & Community Reviews

Comprised of four sprawling, multi-part epics, this debut is a towering homage to 1970s British progressive rock. The Welsh ensemble utilizes incredibly lush keyboard orchestration and soaring female vocals to explore complex, philosophical themes rooted in science fiction and fairy tale conceptualism.
