Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acclaimed Canadian composer and arranger expands his intricate violin loops into a vibrant, full-band synth-pop record. Featuring prominent bass contributions from Brian Eno, the incredibly lush, orchestral arrangements provide a beautiful contrast to deeply vulnerable, complex lyrical themes exploring depression, gender fluidity, and the painful realities of aging.
