Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a distinct shift towards more complex and extended song structures, the idiosyncratic British folk artist delivered a fiercely independent sophomore statement. Highlighted by the sprawling, 11-minute opus 'Circle', the album relies on his distinctive acoustic guitar techniques and rambling, socially critical lyricism to completely break from traditional folk formats.
