Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Sheffield crooner drastically abandoned his signature lush, orchestral balladry for a roaring, guitar-heavy tribute to English psychedelia. Awash in heavy fuzz and extended space-rock jams, the record represents a bold, atmospheric reinvention of his classicist songwriting.

Genres

Descriptors: atmospheric, guitar-heavy, fuzz-drenched, spacious, motorik
