Album Notes & Community Reviews

Created entirely alone in his home studio following a highly publicized divorce, the Genesis frontman wrote, produced, and performed every instrument on this deeply personal release. The stripped-down production relies heavily on bleak drum machine patterns and somber synthesizer washes, resulting in his most introverted and melancholic solo album.
