Album Notes & Community Reviews

The sixth studio album from the collaborative duo of Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness is arguably the most heartbreakingly intimate entry in their long-running discography. Heavily featuring lush string orchestrations, ambient guitar soundscapes, and Bowness's vulnerable, whispered vocals, the record explores themes of deep regret and lost childhood innocence. It stands as a masterful achievement in sophisticated, incredibly melancholic art-pop.
