Album Notes & Community Reviews
Releasing via his own newly established imprint, the Van der Graaf Generator frontman delivers a beautifully understated, entirely ballad-focused solo album. The delicate, piano-driven chamber pop arrangements provide a highly emotional, pristine showcase for his notoriously complex and poetic vocal performances.
