Album Notes & Community Reviews

The beloved British pop trio strips away their signature dancefloor impulses, crafting an exceptionally calm, highly meditative suite of pure ambient pop and modern new age music. Utilizing pastoral field recordings and minimalist, downtempo synthesizer arrangements, Sarah Cracknell's whispered vocals create an overwhelmingly ethereal atmosphere. It is a profoundly introspective, beautifully mellow exploration of the natural world.
