Album Notes & Community Reviews
Structured as a loose concept album, this polished effort observes the interconnected daily lives of residents within a fictional London high-rise apartment block. Collaborating heavily with producer Richard X, the trio crafts lush, sophisticated indie pop melodies infused with an optimistic yet subtly melancholic urban romanticism.
