Album Notes & Community Reviews

After an eighteen-year hiatus resulting from a tragic personal loss, songwriter Peter Milton Walsh revives his legendary cult indie-pop project for a devastatingly beautiful record. The deeply moving piano and string arrangements serve as an elegant, grief-stricken meditation on the sudden death of his young son. It is universally regarded as a profoundly mature, agonizing masterpiece of orchestral pop.
