Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived as an elaborate pop-opera based on an obscure 19th-century sci-fi novel about Atlantis, the Finnish duo's fourth album is a staggering feat of studio ambition. It seamlessly merges vintage 1960s surf-rock, baroque pop eccentricity, and whimsical space-age orchestration.
