Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning after a seven-year studio silence, Paddy McAloon's sophisticated pop outfit delivers a breathtakingly romantic, starry-eyed concept album concerning the mysteries of the universe. The exceptionally pristine, string-swept arrangements perfectly complement the band's delicate, jazz-inflected melodies and earnest lyrical devotion.
