Album Notes & Community Reviews

Roxy Music鈥檚 final studio album entirely abandons their early glam-rock artifice for an incredibly sleek, elegantly crafted sophisticated pop aesthetic. Bryan Ferry鈥檚 velvet croon drifts over impeccably smooth, highly atmospheric synthesizers and sensual saxophone lines. 'Avalon' is a profoundly lush, heavily romantic, and ethereal swan song for the legendary band.
