Album Notes & Community Reviews

Tony Wakeford's foundational neofolk project adopts a significantly more orchestrated, cinematic approach for this late-era release. 'The Hill of Crosses' supplements Wakeford's typical acoustic strumming and deep, dramatic vocals with prominent brass and cello arrangements, subtly flirting with dark jazz aesthetics. The album demonstrates a sophisticated evolution in the band's apocalyptic folk sound.
