Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reuniting with longtime producer Warne Livesey, the Canadian singer-songwriter departs from traditional alternative rock arrangements in favor of expansive, orchestral chamber pop. The album is characterized by its heavy use of woodwinds, brass, and piano, framing Good's introspective lyricism within lush, moody, and deeply atmospheric instrumental textures.
