Album Notes & Community Reviews

Drastically departing from the arena-sized electric guitars of their previous work, the Welsh veterans delivered a remarkably subdued, predominantly acoustic album. Heavy with nostalgia and world-weary reflection, the release is heavily characterized by sweeping brass, delicate string sections, and a highly emotive guest vocal appearance by Richard Hawley.
