Album Notes & Community Reviews

Structured primarily around two massive, multi-part epic suites, Phideaux Xavier's eighth studio album is a sweeping nod to 1970s symphonic progressive rock. Driven by intricate acoustic guitars, Mellotrons, and tight vocal harmonies, it remains an incredibly melodic and introspective concept record.
